Creamy Scones These delicious scones are moist, creamy and simple to make.
Ingredients:
3 ½ cups pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup erythritol
2 eggs
½ cup (1 stick) butter
⅔ cup milk
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup raisins, cranberries, currants, or nuts
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or oil the tray lightly.
Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the butter to the mixture with a pastry cutter until crumbly. Stir in the liquid ingredients and add fruit or nuts.
