Cape Breton Scones

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 350u00b0F 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.
