Brown Scones

 


Ingredients:
  2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons butter, cold chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk

Instructions: 
 

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Work the butter in with a fork or your fingertips until well distributed. Beat the egg substitute until frothy and stir in the buttermilk. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just incorporated. Place the dough onto a flour surface and pat into a round shape the size of a pie tin*. Lightly coat a 9" pie tin with nonstick spray and place the dough into the pan, cover with saran and refrigerate for several hours.

Cut the "pie" into 8 triangles and place them on a sprayed cookie sheet. Let the scones warm some before putting them in the oven. Turn the tray halfway through baking to insure an even color.

*It is also possible to cut the dough into triangles at this point and continue directly to the baking. The dough will be a little sticky and difficult to work with but the texture of the scones will be lighter and more delicate if the dough is NOT refrigerated. I often chill the dough because I do the work at different times and this method allows me more flexibility.
