Whole Wheat Scones

Today in the bread baking blog, we're making whole wheat scones also known as Pilgrim Scones. The combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flours, honey, buttermilk and raisins makes these scones delicious as well as nutritious. The scones are very easy to make and they taste wonderful! If you're looking for an easy scones' recipe that doesn't use heavy cream or lard, try this one.

The recipe for these scones is found in a community cookbook called "What's Cooking at the Library?" sponsored by the Gwinnett County Public Library System. The cookbook is dedicated to the fight for the cure for cancer.
