Low-Sugar Lemon Blueberry Scones Recipe 


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, Purecane™ zero calorie baking sweetener, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut up very cold butter (you can even pop in the freezer for a few minutes) into tiny pieces using a pastry cutter, box grater, or a knife. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with a fork or your hands until you’ve got pea-sized crumbs. 
  4. Add your wet ingredients to a separate small bowl: heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. 
  5. Combine your wet ingredients with your crumbly flour mixture. Fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries.
  6. Dust a small amount of all-purpose flour onto the counter where you’re working. Pour your scone mixture onto the dusted counter and roll the dough into a ball shape. Be careful not to over-knead the dough.
  7. With the palm of your hand or a plate, gently flatten the dough. 
  8. Cut your circular scone dough into 6 slices and brush the top with a little heavy cream.
  9. Place your scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake scones for 25-29 minutes or until edges are a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. They’re best served warm or at room temperature. 
  10. Optional: As the scones are baking, combine the icing ingredients (Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener and lemon zest) together in a small bowl. 
  11. Drizzle icing over warm scones, or serve them with a light dusting of Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener and some jam. Enjoy!
