Barley Scones



In The Long Patrol, they serve this by scooping out the top and filling it with honey.

2 cups white wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
2 cups rolled barley
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup milk or nut milk

Preheat oven to 425 F. Line baking sheet with parchment.

Sift flour, barley, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Cut in butter until there is no dry powder. Stir in honey and add enough milk to make a soft dough. Dust the countertop and the top of the dough with flour, and roll out the dough to about 3/4" thickness. Cut out scones with a circle cutter, or another desired shape. Place on baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the tops have golden-brown edges.

Makes 10-12 large scones.
