Even fast and easy breakfasts are simple, now that I have my Wondermill Grain Mill.  Freshly ground white whole wheat flour makes these delicious scones a family favorite.  The flour is so light and nutty that David and the kids can’t even tell I used whole wheat flour!  Enjoy!

  3. Whisk the sour cream, vanilla and milk, together. Set aside.

  7. coarse-meal
  8. Stir in the sour cream mixture.
  9. add-sour-cream
  10. Stir only enough to moisten all the dry ingredients. The dough that forms will clump together, but have a very shaggy appearance.

  12. Pour the dough onto a very lightly floured work surface or a silicone mat and knead gently to form the dough into a smooth ball. Try not to work in a lot of extra flour or over-knead.

  14. Press the dough into a circular disc about ¾ inch thick. Cut into eight triangular sections.
  15. cut-scones
  16. Place the sections onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

  18. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Scones will be lightly browned on top.
  19. Our kids love these warm from the oven with nothing on them. I like them warm, but enjoy some toppings, too. Split and serve the scones with the toppings of your choice. I used cream cheese and hot pepper jelly and then butter and honey. So delish!
