Dried Pear And Cardamom Scones

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 10 tablespoon low-fat buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup chopped dried pears
• 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• Cooking spray
• 1 large egg white, lightly beaten

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cardamom in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
3. Combine buttermilk, rind, vanilla, and egg in a medium bowl; stir in dried pears. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist (dough will be sticky).
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Dust top of the dough with 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, and pat into an 8-inch circle. Cut dough into 8 wedges; arrange wedges 1/2 inch apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush egg white over wedges. Bake at 350u0b0 for 25 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
