Family Day Scones

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into chunks
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup half-and-half cream

Directions

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. In a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with a knife or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the brown sugar.

Whisk together the sour cream, light cream, and vanilla extract in a small bowl, then stir into the flour mixture until just moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, for five or six turns. Pat or roll the dough out into a 1/2 inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedge-shaped pieces, and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
