What are Clementines?

Clementines are the smallest member of the mandarin family. They are a citrus fruit with deep orange color and a glossy peel. The citrus flavor is very sweet and pronounced. If you can’t find clementines, try substituting a mandarin or an orange.

How to make Low Carb Clementine Scones

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and whisk together. My favorite tool to make our scones is a fork. Mix the melted butter into the dry ingredients.

Add the egg to the dry ingredient mixture, then the heavy cream, juice, and zest.

Lightly dust a surface with almond flour. Gather the dough together and form in to a disc about one and one-half inch thick. Using your hands is the best tool here. Press down gently until the dough is the thickness you are looking for. Cut to create six or eight triangles.

Transfer each triangle to a baking pan/sheet lined with parchment paper, separating each piece from one another. Place in a preheated 350° oven and bake for approximately 14 minutes.
