Cape Breton Scones

Directions

1. 1
   Sift the flours, baking powder and salt.
2. 2
   Set them aside.
3. 3
   Cream the butter.
4. 4
   Beat in the brown sugar and then the egg.
5. 5
   Mix the dry ingredients in alternately with the milk to make a soft biscuit-like dough.
6. 6
   Pat it out to about 1 inch thick on a floured board, and form it into a neat circle.
7. 7
   Cut it into 8 or 12 wedges, and bake them at 350°F on a lightly greased cookie sheet, until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
8. 8
   Less traditional but speedier is to scoop them out with an ice-cream scoop from the mixing bowl onto the cookie sheet.
9. 9
   Flatten them slightly, and bake as above.
10. 10
    Using this method, you will probably get 8 scones.
