Low Fat Blueberry Scone

  


Low Fat Blueberry Scones

Low Fat Blueberry Scones....I came across this recipe (check out Mennonite Girls Can Cook blog) So, I ventured out to try the recipe (with a few of my own adaptations)... I was amazed at the result. For being low fat this scone is light, fluffy, moist and not dense at all. It isn't too sweet and the blueberries add a touch of tartness to the scone. They also look great when they come out of the oven as well (not to mention the wonderful aroma that lingers in the kitchen).

Ingredients


Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 deg .

Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender, until pea size

Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl then add to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until all the mixture has been moistened. (I usually mix half way and then fold in the blueberries so that I don't overwork the dough). Fold in the blueberries. The key is to not overwork the dough... just mix until it just comes together. Don't feel the need to press and compact the dough...it will get tough!

Drop by large spoonfuls(I used a 1/4 cup measurement and formed them(lightly...don't compact) into balls....be gentle with this kind of dough) onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 F for 18 minutes.

Glaze

Make a glaze by mixing in a small bowl . . .

3/4 cup icing sugar

1 tsp of the orange/lemon peel

3 Tbsp milk .

I added a tinge of almond extract as well.

Mix and drizzle over scones while still warm. Enjoy!

I'm not sure if I've really had too many scones before, but these were still pretty good just in general. I didn't have buttermilk on me, so I did the milk and lemon juice combination. But this is a great basic recipe, so next time I can play around with it a bit more. Thanks for posting.
