Low-Fat Cheese Scones
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 cup whole wheat or all purpose flour (I use whole wheat)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tbsp olive oil
• 1/3 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1 cup + 1 tbsp nonfat plain yogurt or buttermilk
• ¾ cup grated reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 tsp dried chives
Directions:
Mix flours, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl mix yogurt, oil, chives, and cheese, and let it sit five minutes to let the flavors combine. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix with a fork quickly until it is just blended. The dough will still be crumbly. Do not knead. Pat it out gently in a ¼” circle on a floured surface. It will still be a bit crumbly, and some pieces may fall out of the dough. Just push them back in gently. Cut into 10-12 wedges and bake at 400 for 20 minutes until they are brown and a toothpick at the center comes out clean. Tap the bottom to see if they are done – it will sound hollow.
