Local flour delights

Supporting local agriculture where we live is very important to us.  When we go to our favorite little food co-op, we buy spelt and whole wheat organic flour from the Beidler Family Farm in Randolph, VT.   The recipe I follow to make scones is from Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. I used goat's milk instead of soy milk.
I also have used the local flour to make pizza dough.  I do half of all purpose flour and half of the other local flours.

Goat milk scones with chocolate chips and local raspberries. Recipe follows.




SCONES 

  • Preheat oven to 400F
  • Mix in large bowl the following:
3 cups of flour ( 1/2 local flour, 1/2 all purpose)
2 Tbsp b. powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
  • Then add: 
1/3 cup sunflower oil
1 tsp vanilla 
1/2 cup of goat's milk
3/4 cup of goat's milk + 3 tsp apple cider vinegar

  • Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of raspberries
  • Knead in floured surface to make a round ball of dough ( it is okay, if it is sticky). But I add flour to keep it from being too sticky (specially if you are using frozen raspberries)
  • Split the mass into too balls.  Pat each ball to sort form what could resemble a wheel of cheese and cut slices like a pie.
  • Place the slices in parchment paper (separated) and into the oven on the pizza stone. 
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. 
  • Freeze them for breakfast during the week.
