    FRUIT SCONES

    Yield: Makes 18 scones
    Source: "Great Healthy Food: Diabetes" by Azmina Govindji
    Info: http://diabeticgourmet.com/book_archive/details/7.shtml

    INGREDIENTS

    - 1 cup all-purpose white flour
    - 1 cup wholewheat flour
    - 2-1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    - Pinch of salt
    - 1/4 cup soft margarine (at room temperature)
    - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    - 1/3 cup raisins
    - 2/3 cup skim milk (keep 2 teaspoons aside for
    brushing the tops of the scones before baking)

    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sift the flours
    into a bowl with the baking powder and salt, tipping
    any leftover bran into the sifted mixture.

    Lightly rub in the margarine with your fingertips until
    the mixture has the consistency of fine bread crumbs.

    Mix in the sugar and raisins (the same quantities of
    dried mixed peel can be used instead) and add the milk a
    little at a time, mixing well until a soft dough is formed.

    Turn out onto a lightly floured board and roll out to a
    thickness of 3/4 inch. Using a 1-1/2-inch pastry cutter,
    cut out the scones, re-rolling the leftover dough as
    necessary until you have used it all.

    Place the scones on a lightly greased baking sheet, brush
    the tops with a little skim milk to glaze, and bake near
    the top of the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden. Cool
    on a wire rack until the scones are just warm, then serve.
