Yield makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup natural granulated sugar
1/4 cup nonhydrogenated margarine, softened
1/4 cup rice milk, or as needed
2/3 cup dried currants
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Combine the first 4 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together. Work the margarine into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or the tines of a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add enough rice milk to hold the dough together, working it together with your hands. Work the currants and walnuts in with your hands, then turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and knead briefly.
  • Form the dough into a ball, then roll out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut the dough into 2-inch rounds with a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Gather up any leftover dough, roll out, and cut until all the dough has been used up.
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Cook the scones over medium heat or until golden brown on both sides. Cool on a rack and serve warm.
