Ingredients:
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup fruit puree fat replacement -homemade or store bought
2 tbsp canola oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup currants -or chopped dried cranberries
1 cup buttermilk, plus 2 tablespoons
Instructions:
1. In a shallow pan, combine 1/2 cup flour, fruit puree and oil; stir until
smooth. Spread into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze
until almost solid, about 45 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk
remaining 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and
salt. Cover and chill in the freezer. 3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a
baking sheet with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper. 4. Using
a pastry cutter, 2 forks or your fingers, cut fruit puree mixture into dry
ingredients until crumbly. Mix in currants (or cranberries). Using a fork,
gradually stir in 1 cup buttermilk just until combined. (Dough will be
sticky.) 5. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 2 or 3 times.
Do not overwork dough. 6. Divide dough in half and pat each piece into a
7-inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Transfer wedges to prepared
baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk and
sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. 7. Bake scenes for 12 to 15
minutes, or until golden and firm. Transfer to a wire rack to cool
slightly. Serve warm.
