Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Erythritol
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, and erythritol. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a scone cutter, divide the disk into 8 equal wedges and transfer each piece to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your low carb classic raisin scones with tea or coffee.
