Scones can make for a delicious brunch item or healthy mid-day snack when done right. Instead of a traditional scone that is made with bleached all-purpose flour, these glazed raspberry scones are made with white whole-wheat flour as well as rolled oats, contributing whole grains and fiber to the pastry.
While most scone recipes use buttermilk or cream, this recipe calls for a homemade buttermilk that is made from almond milk and lemon juice. This mixture will “curdle” when set aside for a few minutes, mimicking traditional buttermilk without all the extra fat!
