Method
- In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, and salt.

- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until you've formed a dry soft dough.
- Flour your work surface generously and scrape the dough out of the mixing bowl onto the floured surface.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Gently pat each half of dough into a 7 inch circle about 7/8 inch thick.
- Transfer dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet (or Silipat mat).
- Brush the tops with the egg white and sprinkle with Splenda to your likeing.
- Using knife, divide each dough circle into eight wedges.
- Gently separate the wedges so that they're almost touching in the center, but are spaced about an inch apart at the edges.
