Easy, Low-Sugar Orange Scones

Course Breakfast, Dessert
Cuisine American
Servings 8 pieces

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 cup flour/gluten free flour optional (almond flour suggested)
  • 2-4 tbsp frozen unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 zest of an orange adds sweetness
  • cinnamon and currants or raisins (optional) to taste liking
  • 1 sugar In The Raw (turbinado sugar) packet to cover the top of 8-scone slices.

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients except sugar and make a circle mound. This is a crumbly dough especially with gluten-free flours such as almond flour.
  • Take all the crumbly bits and add back to the circle mound. Then, slightly flatten the top with hands to about 1 inch high.
  • Use one packet of turbinado sugar (optional) to zhugh the top before baking, so the sugar sticks.
  • Cut lightly or score 8 triangular "pie wedge" shapes.
  • Bake at 350°F at 25-30 minutes (or until light golden brown color).
