Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- About 2 Tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger (store bought or make your own)
- 2 cups finely chopped rhubarb
- 6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into little pieces
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt
- 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
Maple glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- A bit of maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a bowl combine flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in sugar.
- Add the little pieces of butter and work it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the butter chunks are all broken down and the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the candied ginger and rhubarb and toss to mix.
- In a separate smaller bowl combine the egg, yogurt and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until well blended (dough will be soft and wet).
- Directly in the bowl, knead the dough lightly 3-4 times. Directly on the baking sheet, pat or roll the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into wedges. Sprinkle scones with the coarse sugar.
- Bake scones for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown and set in the middle. Cut them again when they are done and separate them.
- While the scones are baking mix the powdered sugar with some maple syrup to make a thin glaze. Drizzle the warm scones with the glaze and let cool a bit before serving.
