Method Heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Lightly grease a baking tray. Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter. Stir in the sultanas, sugar and then the milk to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured work surface and knead very lightly. Pat out to a round 2cm/¾in thick. Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk.
Almond Milk – You can use almond milk or heavy whipping cream to create a delicious low carb scone. You can also brush a little heavy whipping cream on the top of the scones for a crispy top. Coconut Oil – You can use coconut oil or unsalted butter as the fat in this recipe. Cold butter/cold coconut oil are the key to creating the perfect scones.
I haven't gotten around to making coconut flour scones yet but it's on my list. If you want to experiment, try using a scant cup / 90 g coconut flour. Coconut flour absorbs a lot more liquid than almond flour.
