Method
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Reserve 1 teaspoon of the sugar and combine the rest of the remaining sugar with the flours, oats, baking powder, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, egg whites, molasses and currants. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until just moistened.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 to 10 times. Pat the dough into a circle (and about 3/4 inch thick) and cut it into 8 pie shaped wedges.
- Place the wedges on an ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle the tops with the reserved teaspoon of sugar. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
