Makes 8 large or 16 small scones

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a separate bowl, sweeten 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries with 2 tablespoons honey. If you are using a sugar substitute, sweeten to taste. Set aside.

Sift together

1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 whole wheat pastry flour

2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder

with 1/2 cup brown sugar or honey. If you choose low calorie or alternative sweetener like stevia, please check their conversion recommendations.

Add 6 tablespoons of chilled unsalted soy margarine chopped into small pieces. Gently work the flour-butter mixture with a pastry blender until the dough looks like coarse meal.

Tip: Overworking the dough makes scones tough or heavy.

In a separate bowl, mix together

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup sesame seeds

For variations, you may add an additional 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

On a floured board, pat the dough into a circle and cut into 8 wedges.
