    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2               cups  whole wheat flour
    1                cup  unbleached all-purpose flour
       1/4           cup  packed dark brown sugar
    1           teaspoon  baking soda
    1           teaspoon  salt
       1/4           cup  unsalted butter -- chilled, cut into 1/2" 
pieces (1/2 stick)
    1                cup  walnuts -- toasted, chopped
    1                cup  buttermilk -- chilled
    1              large  egg
    2        tablespoons  light molasses -- mild-flavored

Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly flour large baking sheet. Whisk first 5 
ingredients in large bowl to blend well. Add butter and rub in with 
fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in toasted, 
chopped walnuts. Whisk buttermilk, egg and molasses in small bowl to 
blend. Gradually add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring 
until medium - firm dough forms. Turn dough out onto lightly floured 
surface. Knead until dough comes together, about 6 turns. Flatten 
dough into disk. Cut into 6 wedges. Shape each wedge into ball. Place 
on prepared sheet, spacing evenly apart. Flatten each to 3" round. 
Using sharp knife, cut shallow X in top of each round.

Bake breads until golden and tester inserted into center comes out 
clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer to rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
