I would recommend using white whole wheat flour (which is 100% whole grain, just a different variety of wheat that bakes up lighter) and starting with a 50/50 mix of white/whole wheat flour. If you like the results, try using more whole wheat flour.Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-53487909108746455782014-05-12T18:13:08.492-05:002014-05-12T18:13:08.492-05:00Hi, this recipe looks great!

I have an excess of green onions at the moment and cant wait to try it out, but I was wondering do you think I could substitute whole grain flour or would it change the consistency of the scone and cause it to not bake right?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842832973318467965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-77310497562981742352013-02-24T12:25:27.490-06:002013-02-24T12:25:27.490-06:00Hi Aarati,
I'm so glad you're enjoying my ...Hi Aarati,<br />I'm so glad you're enjoying my recipes. I'm not sure about your oven - a convection oven with forced air isn't necessary (I never use one), but you do want the inside of the oven evenly heated. Even if you can't get the oven as hot as some recipes call for (such as 400 degrees F), you can still successfully bake lots of things at a lower temperature. Many people swear by cooking quick breads, etc. at just 325F rather than 375 that many recipes call for.<br /><br />I'm afraid I always put eggs in my scones (our hens are laying over a dozen a day right now!), but a quick look on google or foodblogsearch.com should give you many scone recipes that don't call for eggs.<br /><br />In the <a href="http://www.farmgirlfare.com/p/recipe-index.html" rel="nofollow"><b>Farmgirl Fare Recipe Index</b></a> I do have some eggless baked goods, including beer bread, the yeast breads, pita bread, the blueberry breakfast bars and apple blueberry crumble bars, and the baby shortbread cookies with chocolate chips and toffee bits (which are still good if you can't find toffee bits).<br /><br />Happy baking! :)Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-17786389228795097252013-02-24T00:05:44.539-06:002013-02-24T00:05:44.539-06:00hi susan....

Just follow the recipe above and simply leave out the feta.<br /><br />You can also add things like herbs or chopped olives for more flavor. The basic recipe is very adaptable. :)Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-81490834670646139812012-04-20T08:17:37.882-05:002012-04-20T08:17:37.882-05:00In your above reply of January 28, 2006, you menti...In your above reply of January 28, 2006, you mentioned that you have a similar recipe with cream cheese but without feta.

After...Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. After reading some of the comments, I wanted to share a few points from my experience with it:<br />1) sift all dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution.<br />2) Since I was using typically salted commercial cream cheese (unfortunately), and salty goat<br />cheese, I reduced the salt by half.<br />3) After the cream cheese was very soft, I mixed in the egg and gradually mixed in the milk. <br />4) I made a "well" in the center of the dry ingredients then added the liquid mixture.<br />5) I gently blended only to ensure that all dry flour was mixed in to the dough. The dough was extremely lumpy and sticky- this is OK. Then I poured the dough into a pre-heated, oiled iron skillet. (I prefer to use a Romertopf clay baker, but did not have time to soak it.) <br />6) I brushed the top with the egg glaze- This step is so worth it- gives a gorgeous color and keeps the top tender. When done, I cut the bread into "scone" wedges- PERFECT texture and flavor, but without all the kneading and none of the rough texture which can result from over working the dough and having to use too much flour. I hope this helps anyone making quick breads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-14460011961499962602010-12-13T16:44:14.477-06:002010-12-13T16:44:14.477-06:00I made these last weekend--first scones ever &...I made these last weekend--first scones ever & they came out great!

Butter is definitely not required when making scones - in fact, many 'cream scone' recipes call for only heavy cream, with no butter and often no eggs either.<br /><br />This recipe gets its richness from the milk, cream cheese, and egg, and they aren't dense.
