Tahini Sunflower Seed Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1/4 cup whole wheat flour (I use spelt)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons sugar
    2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    9 tablespoons tahini or 9 tablespoons nut butter
    1/2 cup roasted sunflower seeds or 1/2 cup chopped nuts
    1 egg
    1/2 cup milk
Preparation
    Heat oven to 375\u00b0F.
    Combine flours, sugar, salt and baking powder until well blended.
    Add tahini or nut butter by tbs, covering each spoonful with flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or wire whisk, cut tahini or nut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in roasteed sunflower seeds or chopped nuts of your choice.
    In a separate bowl combine egg and milk and whisk until blended. Pour into tahini flour mixture reserving 1 tbs full for glaze and combine until just blended.
    On a floured surface flatten dough using your hands or a rolling pin. Using a glass cut out scones of desired size.
    Place on a paper-lined baking sheet and glaze with reserved egg mixture. If you like sprinkle some seeds or chopped nuts on top.
    Bake for about 15 minutes until slightly golden on top. Enjoy!
