Lemon Poppyseed Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups oat flour
    1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1/2 cup shortening
    1/2 cup butter
    1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
    2 tablespoons poppy seeds
    2/3 cup buttermilk
    1 tablespoon melted butter
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
    In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in shortening and 1/2 cup of butter until the lumps are smaller than peas. Stir in the lemon zest and poppy seeds. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
    Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Pat each one into a 1 inch thick circle. Cut circles into 6 wedges like a pie. Place pieces onto a baking sheet, and brush the tops with melted butter.
    Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack so they do not get too crumbly.
