Method

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
3
Cut the margarine into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the margarine into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4
Roughly chop the walnuts and fold them into the flour mixture along with the raisins.
5
Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until slightly frothy. Pour the egg whites and yogurt into the flour mixture, then drizzle in the honey.
6
Gently stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
7
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it together with your hands to form a cohesive mass. Shape into a rough disk about 1 inch thick.
8
Cut the disk into 8 wedges using a sharp knife dipped in flour, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.
9
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
10
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the scones are golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
