The ingredients for Breakfast Scones are:

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp Spectrum shortening
1 egg
1/2 cup nonfat milk (or plain lowfat yogurt)
1 Tbsp sugar mixed with 2 tsp wheat germ for sprinkling on top

Here is how you make Breakfast Scones:

In your favorite large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a fork or your hands to cut in the shortening like you would for biscuits. Be careful not to over mix. The mixture should be crumbly, and the fat should be in chunks the size of peas or dried beans. In a measuring cup, measure the milk. Crack in the egg and beat until smooth. Pour this into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir the mixture with a fork, forming a soft dough. Scatter a little extra flour about the dough and form it into a cohesive ball. Knead the dough in the bowl about 8 or 10 times. Do not over mix. Pat the dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick on a well-oiled pizza pan or cookie sheet. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges. Sprinkle the sugar on top along with the wheat germ if desired. Bake at 425? for about 10 -15 minutes. The scones will be well-risen and golden brown.***Scone Variations***Apple Scones:Peel, and chop an apple. Make sure the chunks are very small, 1/2-inch square, or smaller.
