Making Scones the Healthier Way
What’s in it?
2 cups whole-wheat flour
2 cups white flour
5 level teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoons of healthier margarine examples are (Becel or Celeb)
2 – 2 ½ cups of 1% milk, or buttermilk (add milk a little at a time until dough sticks together)
To make it:
1. Mix together whole-wheat flour, white flour, baking powder and salt.
2. Cut margarine into flour, only enough to make the mixture look like corn meal.
3. Slowly add milk, only adding enough to make dough stick together.
4. Pat dough out with your hands on a floured surface to the size of large pancakes, and about 1-inch in thickness cut into rounds, using a jar ring or cookie cutter.
5. Bake in 400-degree oven for 15 minutes.
NOTE:
Omit salt if you are on salt restricted diet.

![]() additional fat and are BETTER choices!
![]() • Avoid foods that have menu descriptions such as: Breaded, battered,
![]() fried, deep fried, sautéed, pan fried, in a cheese/cream sauce or au

![]() en croûte, creamy, rich, prime. These words indicate high fat menu
![]() items!
