When making scones with wholemeal flour would you need to add less or more liquid?

You would need to add more liquid when making scones with wholemeal flour. Here's why:

* Wholemeal flour has a higher absorption rate: Wholemeal flour contains the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which are more absorbent than the refined white flour. This means it will absorb more liquid during the mixing process.

* Dry scones: If you use the same amount of liquid as you would for white flour, the scones will be dry and crumbly.

How much more liquid?

Start by adding a tablespoon or two more liquid than your recipe calls for. You can always add more if needed, but it's better to start with a little extra and adjust as you go.

Tip: Use your hands to feel the dough. It should be soft and slightly sticky, but not wet or runny.
