Whole Wheat Scones

I love these because they are so good fresh out of the oven and they take about 25 minutes to make - from start to finish. Super healthy snacks for kids too - Ethan loves to help make them. I got this recipe from an Alice Waters cookbook.

2 c of Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (any flour will do - you can even substitute in 1/2 cup quinoa flower or 1/2 cup almond meal)
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c of sugar (I like to use turbinado) plus 1 tbs for dusting.
1 1/3 c cream
2 tsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 400

Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.

Stir in cream

Mix until dough starts to get sticky. Put the dough on some parchment or wax paper and mold it into a thick log. About 9 inches long or so.

Brush melted butter on the log and drizzle with sugar.

Slice into triangles and throw them in the oven for 17 minutes.
