List of Ingredients



• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  
• 1/4 cup sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  
• 3 tablespoons butter
  
• 10 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
  
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
• 1 large egg
  
• 1 cup chopped dried pears
  
• 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  
• cooking spray
  
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
   
2. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, salt and cardamom in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
   
3. Combine buttermilk, rind, vanilla and egg in a medium bowl; stir in dried pears. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist (dough will be tacky).
   
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Dust top of the dough with 2 teaspoons flour, and pat into an 8-inch circle. Cut dough into 8 wedges; arrange wedges 1/2 inch apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush egg white over wedges. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
