2tablespoonswater with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon mixed in
2cups226 g whole wheat flour
¼cup50 g packed light brown sugar
1tablespoonbaking powder
½teaspoonsea salt
3tablespoonsunsalted butterchilled and cut into small squares
¼cup59 mL unsweetened almond milk
2tablespoonsplain yogurt
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
2eggs
2teaspoonsground cinnamon
For the Glaze
2teaspoonsalmond milk
½teaspoonvanilla extract
½cup60 g powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the water to the raisins and heat in the microwave for about 20 - 30 seconds to re-plump the raisins. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Create a well in the middle of your flour mixture and add the almond milk, yogurt, extract, eggs and cinnamon.
Use a fork to mix the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until completely combined and the dough begins to form. Once the dough starts to form, add the raisins and lightly knead the dough in the bowl to combine any remaining flour.
Lay the dough on your parchment paper and use your hands to form a square approximately 9 inches in diameter.
Use a pizza cutter to cut into 8 equal pieces and gently pull each piece apart so they are near each other but no longer touching.
Bake for about 12 - 15 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Set aside on a wire rack to cool.
While the scones are baking, make the glaze by mixing the almond milk and vanilla together in a small bowl. Slowly add the powdered sugar.
Drizzle the glaze over the scones. I used a sandwich bag with a corner cut out.
