Ingredients and Method to make whole wheat scones

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour (maida)
1 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/3 cup raisins

4 tbsp cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup plain yogurt

Extra 2 tbsp granulated sugar to sprinkle on top

Pre heat oven to 400 deg F. Line a tray / baking sheet with parchment paper and keep aside.

Use your fingers to knead until the mixture holds together. Do not overwork the dough. Roll or pat into an 1/2 inch thick circle.

Cut into wedges ( I got about 10 wedges). Place each wedge a little apart on the pre lined tray.  Sprinkle with granulated sugar and place in the oven.

Bake for 15 minutes or until scones turn evenly golden. Remove and cool slightly.

Serve warm with preserves, jam or butter on the side.
