Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/3 c Unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 c Firmly packed light brown
-sugar
1 tb Double-acting baking powder
3/4 ts Baking soda
1 t Salt
3/4 Stick (6 Tbsp) cold unsalted
-butter, cut into bits
2/3 c Whole-wheat flour
1/3 c Miller's bran (try a natural
-food store)
3/4 c Chopped walnuts
2/3 c Raisins
1 1/2 tb Freshly grated lemon rind
1 lg Egg
1/2 c Buttermilk

* egg wash, made by beating 1 large egg yolk with 1
tsp water * softened butter, assorted jams as
accompaniments Into a bowl, sift together the
unbleached flour, brown sugar, baking powder, soda &
salt. Blend in the butter until mixture resembles
coarse meal, and stir in the whole-wheat flour, bran,
walnuts & raisins until the mixture is combined. In a
small bowl, whisk together the rind, egg & buttermilk,
add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir the
mixture with a fork until it just forms a sticky but
manageable dough. Knead the dough lightly on a floured
surface for 30 seconds and pat it gently into a 3/4
inch thick round. Cut out rounds with a 2 or 2-1/4
inch cutter dipped in flour and arrange them on a
buttered baking sheet. Form the scraps into a ball,
pat into 3/4 inch thick round & repeat. Arrange the
rounds on the baking sheet, brush the tops with the
egg wash, and bake the scones in the middle of a
pre-heated 400 degree oven for 15 - 17 minutes or
until golden. Serve the scones warm with the butter
and jams. Per Serving: 230 calories, 5 gm protein, 30
