Cinnamon Scones

This recipe was adapted from Money Saving Mom

I came across this scone recipe and tweaked it a bit to make it low carb and healthier. 

It was low carb at first, but I had to add in whole wheat flour to thicken it up in the end.

What you need: 

-2 cups flour (I used 1 cup Almond Flour and 1 cup Oat Flour)

-2 tsp baking powder

-1/2 tsp baking soda

-1/2 tsp salt

-1/2 cup butter

-1 egg, separated

-3 Tablespoons honey (I used granulated Splenda)

-1/3 cup buttermilk (or 1/3 cup milk mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice)

Crumb Topping:

1-2 tbsp sugar, I used Splenda)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Glaze Ingredients:

 1 cup powdered sugar

1-3 teaspoons milk 

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

What you need to do:

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

-Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.

-Separate the egg white and yolk. Set the egg white aside.

 -In a separate bowl, mix egg yolk, honey (or splenda) and buttermilk (or milk/lemon juice mixture). Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

 -Form dough into a ball on a floured surface. Roll or pat out to half an inch in thickness and eight inches in diameter. Cut into eight equally-sized pieces.

 -Transfer to a greased baking sheet (or Parchment paper). Whisk the egg white until froth forms and brush over the tops of scones. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over egg-white-topped scones.

 -Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

 -Mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until glaze forms. Drizzle over scones after they bake.

I also froze some of them for a later time
