Cardamom Pine Nut Scones

1-1/2 c flour
1/2 c oat flour
1/2 c sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon (to taste) ground cardamom
1/4 c pine nuts, ground
4 tbs butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 c cream (as needed)

Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix. Add the pine nuts and the butter and cut into the flour mixture. Stir in the eggs and add just enough cream to make a stiff dough. Put the dough on a floured board and pat it out into a circle about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into wedges and place wedges on a cookie sheet at least one inch apart. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until nicely browned. Sprinkle with additional cardamom and serve with plum jam.

NOTE:
You may increase the amount of cardamom or substitute coriander for a stronger flavor. You can also leave out the pine nuts and add a small amount of additional butter.
