Sugar-free Fruit Scones

This makes about 12 scones. Remember that every oven is different, you know yours the best. Don’t hesitate to deviate from the temperature and duration which I have used.

Ingredients:

• · 2 cups of cake flour
• · 15ml baking powder
• · 3ml salt
• · 5ml cream of tartar
• · 125g margarine OR you can use ½ cup of grated cheese
• · ½ cup fruit mix
• · 1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
• · 1 tsp aniseeds
• · 2 egg yolks
• · 2 egg whites (for glaze)
• · ½ cup milk
• · 1 Tbsp icing sugar for dusting

Method:

• · Sift the first four ingredients and rub in the margarine until the mixture appears like breadcrumbs.
• · Add the fruit mix, sunflower seeds and aniseeds.
• · Whisk the egg yolk and milk separately and pour this liquid into the dry ingredients to make soft dough.
• · Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press out and cut into any shape you desire.
• · For the glaze, beat the egg whites until they are foamy and brush the top of the scones with this. Also, sprinkle the scones with icing sugar.
• · Good luck and god bless.
