Low Fat Blueberry Scones Recipes

Steps:

• NOTE: I make these scones using the "Bisquick Heart Healthy" lower fat product, but the nutrition content stated is for Standard Bisquick.
• In a large bowl, gently toss Bisquick Mix, sugar and blueberries. If you have a fresh lemon, you can also add 1 t. lemon ZEST for a great flavor boost. Set aside dry mixture.
• In a 1 cup measure, whisk milk and egg together.
• Pour liquids into Bisquick bowl and use a fork to mix things together gently. Use a large cookie scoop to portion out 8 dollops of dough onto parchment paper.
• Use wet fingers to flatten each scone slightly.
• Bake 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until edges are browning.
• Glaze: Mix lemon juice with Confectioners Sugar to achieve a thin consistency. Drizzle over cooled scones.
• NOTE: Due to low fat content, these probably won't freeze very well, so make them and eat them!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut butter into mixture of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add blueberries and toss to mix.
• In separate bowl beat together cream and egg, and slowly pour into dry ingredients, stirring with rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead just until it comes together, 3 or 4 times. Don't overhandle.
• Divide dough in half. On lightly floured board, shape each half into a 6-inch round. Cut into 6 wedges.
• Bake on ungreased sheet about 20 minutes at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Serve warm!!

Steps:

• For Scones:.
• Preheat oven to 400 F and cover a cookie sheet with parchment.
• Zest the two lemons and set aside, then juice both lemons and place in a separate bowl. You'll be using the juice in both the scones and the drizzle.
• Cut up butter into small pieces, and place in freezer while completing the rest of the steps.
• Put both flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor, and process until mixed.
• In a small bowl, beat egg, vanilla, and buttermilk together. Set aside.
• Add cream cheese and butter to the dry ingredients in the food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms large crumbs.
• Add one tablespoon of reserved lemon juice (save the remaining juice for the drizzle) to the mixture in the food processor and pulse a few times.
• While pulsing the processor, add the egg, vanilla and buttermilk mixture to the rest of the mix in a slow steady stream. Continue to mix until it all holds together. The dough is a bit softer than some scone recipes. It may stick a bit, but don't be alarmed.
• Flour your counter top liberally, and dump dough out. Gently toss the dough in the flour to make it easier to work with.
• Gently knead in the blueberries (I use frozen and keep them frozen right up until this step), being careful not to overwork the dough.
• Half the dough, and press each into a small circle. Then cut each circle into eight wedges. Place the wedges on the cookie sheet.
• If you wish (and I do) sprinkle each scone with a bit of sugar.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
• For Lemon Drizzle:.
• Place powdered sugar and salt into a small bowl and mix well.
• Add the remaining lemon juice from the scone recipe one tablespoon at a time, and mix well until a loose glaze forms.
• To serve, pour drizzle over each scone and enjoy!
