Strawberry Cardamom Scones
A delicious breakfast or treat to enjoy with a hot beverage.
Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
½ cup maple syrup
1 egg
1 cup split red lentil puree (place cooked lentils in a food processor. For every 1 cup of lentils, add ¼ cup water. Blend until smooth.)
1 cup sliced strawberries
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 F. In a large bowl, mix flours, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda and cardamom. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or use your fingers to mix in. The mixture should resemble oat flakes. In a medium bowl, whisk together maple syrup, egg and lentil puree. Add strawberry slices. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Halve the dough into two discs, approximately 1-inch thick. Cut each disc into eight pieces. Bake on a parchment lined baking tray for 20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned. Cool on a baking rack before serving.
