These scones have a surprise healthy ingredient - lentils. While the addition of lentils may be odd, they lend a nice subtle earthiness that really adds to the depth of flavor. Now scones are never going to be "health food", but the addition of the lentils adds about 2 grams of protein and 2.4 grams of fiber to each scone. I finished these with a powdered sugar glaze, but for added decadence I think Merrill's adaptation of TheRunawaySpoon's caramel glaze ( http://www.food52.com/blog/1528_applesauce_cake_with_caramel_glaze ) would be divine. You don't need to tell anyone about the "secret" ingredient, I guarantee they will never guess! I thank mrslarkin for her inspiration and encouragement.
