"When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste."
-Laiko Bahrs, Epicurean

The refrigerator light goes on...

Ms. Bahrs is correct. Baking requires precision and care should be taken if making substitutions. This is because baking is essentially chemistry. There is more latitude with cooking, but when working with lower calorie recipes, sometimes even subtle changes can ruin a recipe.

Brown Sugar

There are two types of brown sugar - Light and Dark. These are now made by combining granulated sugar with molasses and it is the amount of molasses added that determines the darkness of the sugar. Light brown sugar has a more delicate flavor. The recipes on this Web site generally use light brown sugar unless specified otherwise.

There is no significant nutritional difference between granulated (white) sugar and brown sugar.

Orange Blueberry Scones

Servings = 8 | Serving size =1 scone

Cooking Time = 45 Minutes

This recipe can be multiplied by 2.

The scones will keep sealed in plastic for about 36 hours. The scones will keep sealed in plastic, refrigerated and reheated for about 96 hours.

2 cups	all purpose flour
1/4 cup	light brown sugar
2 tsp	baking powder
1/2 tsp	salt
2 Tbsp	unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp	fresh grated orange peel
1/4 cup	orange juice
3/4 cup	non-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup	blueberries
2 Tbsp	non-fat buttermilk
1 Tbsp	light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Sift the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Cut in the softened butter with the tines of a fork or a pastry knife. It is well blended when the mixture is the consistency of coarse corn meal.

Add the orange juice and orange peel slowly while kneading the batter (I use a rubber spatula). Continue kneading while adding the buttermilk. The mixture will become a sticky dough.

Gently fold in the blueberries taking care not to let any burst.

Divide the dough into eight small triangles onto a non-stick cookie sheet.

Mix together the 2 Tbsp. buttermilk and 1 Tbsp. brown sugar and gently wash the tops of the scones. Place in the oven and bake for about 15 - 18 minutes until the tops of the scones are golden.
