Keto Cheese Scones

Keto Cheese Scones are simple yet tasty. They have a deep, cheesy flavor and a fluffy texture. We prepare these scones with almond flour, eggs, butter, and a lot of melted cheddar. All you have to do is combine, form, and bake, and you’ll have warm, golden scones in less than half an hour. They make a great side dish for soups and salads, a light snack, or a savory brunch. We eat these Keto Cheese Scones unadorned, with butter, or even divided and stuffed with your preferred low-carb ingredients like various cheeses, herbs, or spices for variation.

  • One cup of cheddar cheese
  • Two tbsp. heavy cream

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • Almond flour provides a gluten-free and low-carbohydrate foundation that maintains these scones. It adds a soft crumb and a nutty flavor. Use fine almond flour for the greatest texture.

BAKING POWDER:

  • The scones have a lighter texture because of the baking powder, which also helps them rise somewhat. It evens out almond flour’s density. Always use fresh baking powder for the right lift.

GARLIC POWDER:

  • The scones get a mild savory flavor from the garlic powder. It adds cheesiness without being overbearing. You can omit it if you like a simple taste.

SALT:

  • Salt enhances the cheese & butter’s inherent tastes. It balances the richness of every bite. Make a small adjustment if using sharp cheese or salted butter.

EGGS:

  • Eggs serve as a binder to keep the scones together. They aid in building structure and provide protein. Additionally, the eggs add to the interior’s moisture and fluff.

BUTTER:

  • Butter keeps the scones soft and adds richness. Butter that has melted melts into the dough with ease. Unsalted butter is the best butter for regulating salt levels.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • The scones’ strong, cheesy flavor comes from the cheddar cheese. It melts into the dough for luscious pockets of flavor. The ideal cheese is sharp cheddar, but milder cheeses may still work.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • Heavy cream adds a little moisture and keeps the scones soft. It facilitates handling the dough. Additionally, the cream adds a rich finish to the cooked scones.
