Maple Whole Wheat Scones

by Dana Jacobi
Serves: 6
 
These nutty, iced scones are equally good at breakfast or served as an afternoon treat. Soy makes them remarkably tender, as well as adding extra protein. It also helps them stay moist, so you can bake them at night to serve the next day. Use buttermilk made from only milk cultured with enzymes, without gums or other additives. It can be regular, low-fat, or fat-free. Be sure to cool the scones completely before icing.

Ingredients:
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup TruSoy™ Soy Protein Shake Powder Very Vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, and cut in 24 pieces
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg

Icing
2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
3-4 drops maple flavoring

 
Instructions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 375º F. Spray an air-cushioned baking sheet with cooking spray. If you do not have an insulated baking sheet, use two baking sheets, stacked one on top of the other.
  2. Whisk together the flours, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, or combine them in a food processor. Work the butter into the dry ingredients, using a fork, or whirl in the processor until the butter is blended in and the dry ingredients resemble fine sand. If using a food processor, turn the mixture into a mixing bowl. Mix in the walnuts.
  3. Beat together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients. Lightly mix, using a rubber spatula, until the dough comes together, is moist, and almost completely combined. Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface. Knead it 3-4 times, just to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick disk.
  4. Dip a 2-inch biscuit cutter lightly in flour. Use the cutter to make 6 disks scones, reforming the dough to make the sixth one, if necessary. (If you do not have a cutter, use the rim of an inverted drinking glass.) It is fine for the dough to be craggy on the surface. Place the scones at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the scones are a rich, golden brown. They should feel firm to the touch in the center when lightly pressed. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer the scones to a baking rack and cool completely.
    6. For icing, warm the maple syrup in a small bowl in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. Sift the confectioners’ sugar. One tablespoon at a time, mix the sugar into the syrup, blending it completely before adding more sugar. Stir in the flavoring.
  6. Place the rack with the scones on a paper towel. Using a fork, drizzle as much of the icing as you like over each scone. Let them sit until the icing is firm to the touch, at least 30 minutes. (On a damp day, this may take longer.) Leftover icing can be spread on warm toast or with apple pie.
