Onion-Walnut Whole Wheat Scones

 

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons cold butter

1 onion, finely minced

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

zest of half a lemon

3/4 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons honey

 

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix dry ingredients. Cut in

butter with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse

cornmeal. Add onions, walnuts and lemon zest. Dissolve

honey in buttermilk; stir into flour mixture until

just barely combined. Place dough on a floured board;

knead 5 to 7 times. Shape into a round 1-inch high.

Pierce top all over with a fork. Dust lightly with

flour; cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges on an

un-greased baking sheet; bake 15 minutes, until

browned.
