This rhubarb scones recipe takes me back to Girl Scouts cooking camp. Scones<\/a> were the first thing I ever baked that turned out perfectly on the first try. More importantly, in that moment I realized pastries don’t have to be super sweet to be satisfying. Enter rhubarb<\/a>\u2014another ingredient that defies the sugar-forward norm for baked desserts<\/a>. It’s bold, tangy and sour enough to make you pucker if you bite it raw, which may sound like an odd match for a baked good, but somehow it just works.<\/p>\n In my mind, scones and rhubarb make the perfect pair. This rhubarb scone recipe lets both ingredients shine: The dough stays rich and flaky while the rhubarb cuts through with tart brightness, and the coarse sugar on top keeps everything just sweet enough to feel like a treat. It’s a balance of opposites\u2014and that’s exactly what makes it so good. Whether I need a breakfast bite, a midnight snack or I’m having Hugh Grant over for tea (a girl can dream!), rhubarb scones are always a fantastic choice.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. In a large bowl, whisk the whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom and salt.<\/p>\n Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>If you have one, use a pastry blender, but your fingers will work too. Work until the pieces are pea-sized and no smaller. Cold butter is key\u2014pop your butter in the freezer for a few minutes beforehand if your kitchen runs warm.<\/p>\n Add the finely chopped rhubarb and toss to coat.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Coating the fruit in a flour-based mixture helps prevent it from sinking to the bottom.<\/p>\n In another bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream, milk and vanilla, and then stir it into the crumb mixture just until moistened.<\/p>\n Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently, four to five times. Divide the dough in half and pat into two 6-inch circles.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>To make scones that are flaky, start by keeping your butter cold and your mixing light. Overworking the dough makes for dense, hockey puck scones. Use a light touch, a floured surface and don’t be afraid of visible butter chunks. Those little pockets of fat are what create steam during baking and deliver that sought-after flaky interior and golden crisp top.<\/p>\n Cut each circle of dough into eight wedges.<\/p>\n Place the wedges on parchment-lined baking sheets and sprinkle with coarse sugar.<\/p>\n Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.<\/p>\n Let the scones cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also refrigerate them if your kitchen gets warm or if you’re making them ahead for brunch.<\/p>\n Rhubarb scones will keep for about two days at room temperature or up to five days in the fridge. Warm them up slightly before serving to bring back their soft, buttery texture.<\/p>\n Absolutely! Freeze the scones after baking by letting them cool completely and then placing them in a single layer in a resealable freezer bag. Reheat in a 300\u00b0 oven for 10 to 12 minutes to bring back their just-baked magic.<\/p>\n Whole wheat flour can be used, but the texture will be denser and more rustic. If you want to try this swap, consider mixing it with another type of flour, like all-purpose flour, to lighten the load.<\/p>\n Both work well, but if you’re using frozen, here’s your game plan: Measure the rhubarb while it’s still frozen, then thaw it completely. Drain it in a colander, but do not press the liquid out. Let it drip dry naturally so the texture stays soft, not soggy.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With buttery dough, sparkly sugar tops and juicy pockets of rhubarb, rhubarb scones

These scones are softer and not hard and crumbly - which is how I prefer my scones. I use turbinado sugar on the top as an offset to the tart of the rhubarb in the filling, but you could also do a powdered sugar glaze if you wanted to sweeten them up.
