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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetener. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the scones are risen and lightly golden.

Step 9

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!
