Whole wheat buttermilk scones

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly dust a baking tray with a little flour. Sift the flours into a large bowl.
2. Stir in the sugar. Using your fingertips, mix in the margarine until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
3. Using a non-serrated table knife, gently mix in buttermilk into the dry ingredients until just combined and the dough is soft and sticky.
4. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 30 seconds or until just smooth.
5. Press out dough to 2cm thickness. Using a 5.5cm round cutter, cut out 15 scones. Dip the scone cutter into the flour before cutting each scone to prevent the dough sticking to the cutter.
6. Arrange scones on tray so that they are just touching. Brush scones lightly with skim milk. Bake for 15 minutes or until browned and sound hollow when tapped.
7. Serving size: 1 scone
