Ingredients
3 cups whole wheat flour (King Arthur if possible)
1/3 cup Splenda (or sugar)
5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tbs (1/2 stick) cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 c chopped crystallized ginger
1/3 c slivered almonds
1/3 c frozen blackberries or mixed berries
1 egg
¾ cup + 2 Tbs skim milk
½ cup plain nonfat yogurt
OR: 1 ¼ cups + 2 Tbs lowfat buttermilk in place of the skim milk and yogurt
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F. Stir together flour, splenda (or sugar), baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter. Toss ginger, almonds and frozen berries with flour mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk and yogurt (or buttermilk) until blended and add to flour mixture. Stir with a fork to form large, moist clumps of dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and press together with hands until dough comes together. Flouring as needed, roll the dough into a 10" round, about ¾ " thick. Cut dough into 12 equal-square wedges, transfer to baking sheets and bake until golden, 30-35 min.
