EASY FRUIT SOUP & WHOLE WHEAT SCONES

Steps:

• Scones: Pre heat oven to 375°F.
• Mix together the 2 flours, baking powder, splenda, cinnamon & nutmeg.
• Cut in the butter into the flour until it resembles little kernals of corn.
• Separate 1 egg.
• Set the egg white aside.
• Measure out 1/2 cup of milk, add 1 egg and a yolk, beat until combined.
• Lightly mix the milk/egg with the dry ingredients.
• The mixture only needs enough wet so the dough will hold together, Add a little more milk if needed or if it is a bit too moist add a little more whole wheat flour.
• Turn out on a board and knead a couple of times - the more you handle the dough the tougher your scones will be.
• Cut the dough in two. Flatten each piece into a round circle just over 1/4 deep.
• Place the two circles on a buttered cookie sheet ( I use Release foil instead of buttering the cookie sheet).
• Make a cut across each circle and then across the other way so each will have 4 sections.
• Paint the top of the scones with egg white.
• Bake for apprx 15 minutes or until lightly browned on top and cooked through.
• Soup: Place the apricots, bananas, orange juice, wine, splenda &
• lemon juice in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
• You may have to do this in a couple of batches, then mix it all together, stir well.
• Chill for at least 1 hour.
• Pour into bowls, lightly float 1/4 cup of blue berries on top of each bowl along with several raspberries (if using)).
• Decorate with a sprig of mint and serve with warm buttered whole wheat scones.
