Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated stevia or erythritol
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 150 milliliters Low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Extra whole wheat flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) or 200°C (392°F) if using a fan oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetener. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Gradually add the milk (and vanilla extract, if using) into the flour mixture. Stir gently with a spoon or your hands until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Sprinkle a clean surface with a little whole wheat flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead it a few times to smooth it out.
Pat the dough into a round disk about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick. Use a 5 cm (2 inch) round cutter to cut out scones. Gather the scraps, reshape, and cut out more scones until all the dough is used.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Brush the tops lightly with a little milk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the scones are risen and lightly golden.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them plain or with sugar-free jam and a dollop of cream if desired!
