-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour -- (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 3/8 ounces whole wheat flour -- (about 1/2 cup)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chilled butter -- cut into small pieces
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
2 large egg whites -- divided
2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon pumpkinseed kernels
Preheat oven to 400F.
Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a
knife. Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a
large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until
mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine pumpkin, yogurt, and 1 egg
white, stirring with a whisk. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moist.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times
with floured hands. Pat dough into an 8" circle on a baking sheet
lined with parchment paper. Cut dough into 12 wedges, cutting into
but not through dough. Brush remaining 1 egg white over top of
dough. Sprinkle dough with cheese and pumpkinseeds, pressing lightly
to adhere. Bake at 400F for 20 minutes or until golden. Slice
scones along score lines with a serrated knife. Serve warm.
