Wholemeal Scones & Rock Cakes

Wholemeal Scones



Yesterday I made a batch of wholemeal scones & rock cakes. 

The recipe for scones is exactly the same as normal scones only instead of using white self-raising flour I used wholemeal self raising flour.

You can see the last post I did for scones here.


227g - Wholemeal Self Raising Flour
57g - Sugar
85g - Margarine - soften at room temperature
2 Eggs
Sultanas (Up to you how much you want to put in)

Optional
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract (Gives it more flavour)


Pre-heat oven to 200°C 
Baking time 15 - 20 minutes

(Drop of milk to brush over the top)

Mix your flour & margarine with a fork


Add the sugar


Once it's all mixed you can add your sultanas



In a separate bowl whisk your 2 eggs



You can now add it to your mixture




Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract





Once your dough had all been mixed, it's time to get your hands dirty. Make sure you flour your hands to knead your dough. I just had enough wholemeal flour that I had to use normal white self-raising flour to flour my hands & table. 

You can flour your tray or use baking paper for your scones to bake on. 
Once you've kneaded & cut your scones out don't forget to put a milk wash on top. (I forgot to take a before photo).

Bake in the oven at 200°C for around 20 minutes. Until golden brown.




Rock Cakes




I've made these before here but actually used wholemeal self-raising flour. These were made with white self-raising flour. Again same recipe. 



225g - Self Raising Flour
75g - Margarine
25g - Sugar
100g - Sultanas
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
Milk

Optional
Desiccated coconut

Pre-heat oven to 190°C
Baking time 15 - 20 minutes

Mix your flour & butter together until it resembles breadcrumbs



Mix in the sugar


Add your sultanas


Mix together then make a well in the middle & beat your egg in



Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract & around 4 tablespoons of milk. With the milk we don't measure it we add it until we get the right consistency. So it's not too wet or dry


Once it's all mixed place small rocky piles onto baking paper


Bake for around 20 minutes. Until golden brown.


Happy baking!
