Cranberry Orange Wheat Scones

Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 cup Wheat Germ
• ½ cup Apple Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
• ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 pc Egg
• 1 cup Cranberries, dried
• 1 Tablespoon Orange Zest
• ½ cup Skim Milk
• ½ cup Orange Juice

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 375 ⁰. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, wheat germ, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in the cranberries and orange zest. In a separate bowl, stir together the egg, milk, apple sauce and orange juice. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead briefly to get the dough to hold together. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter. Place the scones 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops and bottoms are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
