Maple Buckwheat Scones

The buckwheat gives these scones depth and the maple syrup lends sweetness (though once I forgot the maple syrup and they were still really good). Very good with blueberries, peaches, and/or Maple Tahini Glaze as well!

Total time: 40 mins. Makes 8 scones.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F, flour a cutting board, and butter a baking sheet.
2. In one mixing bowl, combine 7 tbsp apple sauce, ¾ cup yogurt, 1 egg, and 4 tbsp maple syrup.
3. In another mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup buckwheat flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, and dash salt.
4. Cube a cold ½ stick butter and use your fingertips to mix it into the flour until the butter chunks are pebble-sized.
5. Add the wet batter to the flour and butter mixture and combine.
6. Scoop the (somewhat wet) batter onto the cutting board into a log shape. Lightly coat by sprinkling flour. Using a floured knife, cut the log into triangles and transfer the scones to the baking sheet.
7. Bake at 350˚F for ~25 minutes until the scones are browned.
