one more friendly advice dear..
try to avoid vegetable shortening..it is high in transfat and not a healthy option..
you can find an article about this here.

we have to careful while choosing low fat or fat free options.. sometimes they are unhealthier than the regular fatty ones :(

The only improvement I made was using SPROUTED 100% whole grain flour in place of all-purpose flour. This flour digests as a vegetable and made the scones taste absolutely delicious. Shiloh Farms sells it. Thanks for the recipe!

I've started using cornmeal in my baked good recently and I'm loving the texture it gives. I'm sure the scones would have tasted great as well like many other creation of yours.
