Delightful fluffy scones - perfect for tea time, light, golden, and diabetes-friendly.
Ingredients:
  • Plain flour, for dusting
  • 525.00 gm self-raising flour
  • 82.50 gm SPLENDA® Granular
  • 60g butter, chopped
  • 431.60 gm buttermilk
  • Strawberry jam, to serve
  • Whipped cream, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C (180C fan-forced) and generously grease a 19cm square cake pan, then dust it with flour for easy release.
  • In a large bowl, combine self-raising flour and a pinch of salt. Add butter and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. Mix in SPLENDA®. Create a well in the center and pour in buttermilk. Use a flat-bladed knife to stir until the dough nearly forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead until it comes together.
  • Shape the dough into a 3cm-thick round. Use a 5cm round cutter dipped in flour to cut out scones. Combine any leftover dough pieces, reshape, and cut out a total of 16 scones. Arrange the scones touching in the pan and lightly sprinkle with plain flour.
  • Bake until golden and hollow when tapped, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, then enjoy warm with jam and cream.
