Jacob's Whole Grain Spelted Scones

INGREDIENTS

2 Cups Whole Grain Spelt Flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoons baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons dark maple syrup

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

1 C raisins

1 C chopped walnuts

½ C dark chocolate chips

½ C (one stick) frozen butter

¾ C milk A little cornmeal

Parchment paper

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 420 degrees F. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.

2. Grate the frozen butter into the dry mix with a cheese grater. As you grate the butter, make sure that the butter does not clump together by quickly tossing the dry mix over the butter.

3. Stir the walnuts and chocolate into the dry mix.

4. In a separate small bowl pour the milk over the raisins before adding them to the dry mix. Add Maple Syrup to the mix as well.

5. Gently fold in the the batter, just enough to mix in the ingredients.

6. Sprinkle out some corn meal over your working surface. Pour batter unto surface and pat the batter into a square with a thickness of about 1/12 inches. Then cut this square to four smaller square. Cut these mini squares diagonally and place them on a baking tray covered in parchment paper.

Let the scones bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are a light golden brown. Take out and cool on wire rack. So much goodness in each bite! Enjoy! Source: Our own Jacob Lepkoff!
