I love scones. Unfortunately, most aren't the most healthy. This corrects that (for the most part!) Each scone has about 180 calories! You can sub any fruit really- it just happen to black raspberry season. Also, if you like your scones sweet, you can add more sugar. Ingredients:
1 cup pastry flour |
1 cup oats |
1 t baking powder |
1/2 t salt |
4t butter |
2 egg whites |
1/2 cup of non-fat milk |
3t sugar |
1 cup black raspberries |
2 t orange zest (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix together the first four ingredients. Divide the butter into small chunks and cut into the flour mixture with either two knives, a pastry blender, or your hands (my preferred method!). This should turn into a mealy looking blend. Fold in the berries.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and whisk. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until mix is barely wet. Turn out onto a floured surface and pat into a circle. Cut into 8 wedges and place on baking sheet. Don't over mix!!!
3. Bake at 375 for about 18 minutes until nice and golden. Other options for these scones are to add some nuts or use another egg white and two tablespoons of sugar as a topping.
