Recipe: Cardamom Pine Nut Scones

Cardamom Pine Nut Scones

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cardamom (to taste)
1/4 cup pine nuts -- ground
4 tablespoons butter
2 large eggs -- lightly beaten
1/2 cup cream (as needed)

Stir dry ingredients together. Add the pine nuts and butter and cut into the flour mixture. Stir in the eggs and add just enough cream to make a stiff dough.

Put the dough on a floured board and pat it out into a circle about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Cut into wedges and place wedges on a cookie sheet at least one inch apart. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until nicely browned. Sprinkle with additional cardamom and serve with plum jam. - Diva
