MY DIABETIC COUNTRY CHERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Position the rack in the center of oven and pre-heat to 400f.
• Spray a baking sheet lightly with pam.
• Squeeze excess moisture from the dried cherries that you have plumped and chop into large pieces, set aside.
• Place flour, brown sugar (breaking up any lumps), Splenda, baking powder, salt and soda in a large bowl and easily wisk together.
• Add the margarine to the dry mix and cut it in until the mix is like very coarse meal (some bigger chunks are fine).
• Stir in the cherries.
• In another bowl add the applesauce, egg white, milk and stir together.
• Add the liquids to the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to combine until a soft dough is formed.
• With floured hands knead the dough on a board or stone gently 5-6 times (it should not be sticky).
• Roll or pat the dough into a circle 3/4 inch thick.
• Cut into 8-10 wedges and place them on the sprayed sheet/.
• IF USING: brush the tops with egg white and sprinkle each with 1/4 tsp of sugar.
• Bake 16 - 20 mins or until lightly browned.
• NOTE: If using the egg wash you may need to losen them with a metal spatula after a few mins cooling before removing to rack. These are wonderful served warm.
