1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, soda, salt and
powder. Use only 1/2 tsp salt at this time. Using a pastry blender, cut in
margarine or butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in
the center.

to flour mixture. With a fork, stir till combined (note, this mixture may
seem a little dry).

gently folding and pressing for 10-12 strokes or till nearly smooth. Pat or
lightly roll dough into a 7 inch circle. Cut into 12 wedges.

4. Arrange wedges on an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Brush
with egg white. Bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes or till lightly brown. Cool
on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm. Per serving: 165 cal VARIATIONS:
