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.

Low Carb Clementine Scone Nutrition
We most often eat whatever is on our plates, so we like to make things a little smaller around here sometimes. If cutting the dough into 6 pieces, each scone will approximately contain 341 calories, 30 grams of fat, 5 net carbs, and 12.2 grams of protein. If cutting into 8 pieces, each scone will approximately contain 287 calories, 25.3 grams of fat, 4.2 net carbs, and 10.2 grams of protein.
The numbers provided above do not include the additional almond flour used for dusting. These numbers are provided in good faith, are calculated to the best of our abilities, and are not concrete.
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.
