Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the brown sugar.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
-
Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
-
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little buttermilk.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
