INGREDIENTS NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- I use almond flour to make these scones as a substitute for self-rising flour because it is low in carbs and good to have in the keto diet.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- I use a small amount of coconut flour to give the texture and do not add the coconut flour without measurement as it makes the scones dry.
UNSALTED BUTTER:
- I use unsalted and chilled cubes of butter to make these scones, the cubes should be chilled otherwise we will not achieve the same texture.
ALMOND MILK:
- I use almond milk as a substitute for whole milk and it should be unsweetened.
BAKING POWDER:
- I use baking powder to make these scones so they can rise well.
SALT:
