Cardamom Pine Nut Scones

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c oat flour
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp (to taste) ground cardamom
1/4 c pine nuts, ground
4 tbs butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 c cream (as needed)

Instructions:

Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix. Add the pine nuts
and the butter and cut into the flour mixture. Stir in the eggs and add
just enough cream to make a stiff dough. Put the dough on a floured
board and pat it out into a circle about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Cut into
wedges and place wedges on a cookie sheet at least one inch apart. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or till nicely browned. Sprinkle with additional cardamom and serve with plum jam.

You may increase the amount of cardamom or substitute coriander for a stronger flavor. You can also leave out the pine nuts and add a small amount of additional butter.
