Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Prepare Baking Sheet: Lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, white flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
-
Incorporate Butter: Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it becomes crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add Flavorful Elements: Stir in the shredded potato, sharp cheddar cheese, poppy seeds, and dried dill until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Form Dough: Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in enough milk to form a soft dough, adding more milk as needed until the desired consistency is achieved.
-
Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead it several times to ensure proper incorporation of ingredients.
-
Shape Scones: Pat the dough into two rounds measuring approximately 6 to 8 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
-
Cut into Wedges: Using a sharp knife, cut each round into 6 to 8 wedges, depending on your preference.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.
-
Brush with Butter: Generously brush the tops of the scones with melted butter to promote a golden-brown crust during baking.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the scones until they are lightly golden, typically around 12 to 16 minutes.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These scones are best enjoyed warm, either on their own or accompanied by your favorite spreads or toppings.
