Description
Low carb blood orange and rosemary scones are the ultimate balance of savory and sweet.
Ingredients
150 grams or 1 1/2 cups almond flour, plus more for dusting
16 grams or 2 TBL coconut flour
12 grams or 2 TBL plain or vanilla whey protein powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of Kosher salt
30 grams or 1/4 cup Swerve confectioners
75 grams or 5 TBL butter, at room temperature or slightly melted
zest of one blood orange
2 tsp blood orange juice
2 tsp rosemary, finely chopped
45 grams or 1 large egg
2 TBL heavy cream
Instructions
Turn the oven to 350° and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Measure or weigh, always preferable to weigh, all of the dry ingredients and sift together in a medium size bowl.
Incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients.
Zest one blood orange and add it to the mixture.
Squeeze enough juice out of the orange for two teaspoons and add it to the bowl.
Finely chop two teaspoons of rosemary and add it to the bowl, along with the egg, and heavy cream. Mix the ingredients together until the dry ingredients are absorbed.
Turn the dough out on to a clean work surface dusted with almond flour. Dust with a heavy hand if the dough is quite moist. Shape the dough into a disc, approximately 1 ¼” thick, flipping the dough often to prevent sticking.
Use a bench scraper or sharp knife to cut into triangles, or a biscuit cutter or blunt edge glass to cut into disc shapes. Place on the parchment paper or silicone mat, separated from one another and bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes.
