Ingredients
- 7.9oz self raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.8oz margarine (I used Stork)
- 1 large egg (free-range)
- 3fl oz skimmed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (not essence)
- 0.7oz truvia® calorie-free sweetener spoonable
- icing sugar
- strawberry jam (to serve)
Optional
- strawberry (to serve)
- clotted cream (to serve)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 220C/450F/Gas mark 6. Grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
Sieve the flour into a large bowl, add the margarine and rub in to make breadcrumbs. Stir in the Truvia and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
In a jug beat the egg and add milk to make up to 150ml and then add the vanilla extract and mix through.
Step 4
Add the vanilla and egg milk mixture gradually and mix with a knife, you may not need to use it all, and I always save a little bit to glaze the top of the scones before baking. When the mixture starts to come together use your hands to form a ball, the dough should be soft but not sticky.
Step 5
Turn the scone dough out onto a well floured surface and gently roll out to a depth of about 2cm. Cut rounds and place on the greased baking sheet. Glaze with remaining egg and vanilla milk mixture and bake for 15-18 mins until risen and golden in colour.
Step 6
Sprinkle icing sugar over the tops of the scones just before serving, and serve with strawberry jam, strawberries and clotted cream. Or, for a VERY low calorie treat, just spread with low fat spread and low sugar jam!
