>Does anyone have a recipe for low fat or fat free scones/ Thanks.
I would say that my usual scone recipe is low fat, 25 gms of butter to
about 20 scones in total and I always use non-fat milk. I think the
problem with scones is not the scones but the toppings, lashings of
butter, raspberry jam and cream!!
Scones from the Edmonds Cookbook
3 cups flour
4 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt
25 gm butter
About 1 c milk
Sift dry ingredients, rub in butter, and mix to a soft dough with
milk. Knead on lightly floured board, roll out and cut. Place on
sprayed tray and bake in 230degrees C for 10 - 15 minutes until golden
brown.

I can't imagine that a fat-free scone would be worth eating. But, you can lower
the fat content considerably and still have a very good product. The following
scones are all excellent. My husband adores the ginger scones, but they are in
the "special treat" category because they are rather high in fat.

>How is this low-fat with 42 grams of fat per recipe!
I don't know how many servings this is intended to make, but the
recipe provides one hint. Three cups of flour is the same amount that
goes into an entire loaf of bread. If we assume that this recipe
divides into, say, 16 servings, that's 2.6 grams of fat each. Hardly
an overwhelming quantity.
