Scones are a quintessential afternoon tea treat, that can still be enjoyed without a sugar frenzy!

Lemony Low-Carb Scones

MAKES 8

100g almond flour

60g golden flaxseed meal or psyllium husk, finely ground

20 g coconut flour

20 g whey protein isolate or more almond flour

1 tablespoon natural sweetener like stevia

1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda

1 teaspoon xanthan gum or 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

zest of 1 lemon, freshly grated

110 g organic grass-fed butter, cubed

1 egg

70g sour cream

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C, and line a baking tray with a sheet of parchment paper.


In a food processor, mix together the dry ingredient, almond flour, flaxseed, coconut flour, whey protein, erythritol, bicarbonate soda, xanthan gum, salt and lemon zest, until mixed through. Add butter and blitz until it’s evenly mixed through and looks like damp sand.


Add egg, sour cream, cider vinegar and vanilla extract, blend till fully incorporated.


Turn the mixture out onto the lined baking tray. Using damp hands, bring the dough together and then press into a 1 inch thick rectangle. Cut into 8 wedges, separate and glaze with egg wash.


Bake for 20 minutes until golden and cooked through. Check on the halfway, and cover with a sheet of tinfoil if they are browning too quickly. Once cooked, cool on a wire rack and enjoy with a slather of butter, dollop of clotted cream and spoon of raspberry chia jam. 


The scones can be store in an airtight container for up to four days.
