These Keto Tea Scones provide the ideal ratio of crumbly, buttery, & mildly sweet. We make them with almond flour & a small amount of coconut flour, & they have the usual scone feel without the gluten or carbs. They go well with butter, keto jam, or clotted cream because of their golden crust & soft interior. The low-carb ingredients keep them guilt-free, yet the rich vanilla & cream flavors give them a cozy, homemade feel. Enjoy them warm from the oven with a cup of coffee or tea. These scones will quickly become a favorite low-carb treat, regardless of how long you’ve been on the ketogenic diet.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour keeps the dish low in carbohydrates while producing a soft, crumbly base that resembles classic scones. We have to use fine flour to make the smooth consistency of scones.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- The light structure & good moisture absorption of coconut flour balances the richness of the almond flour. Use it sparingly to prevent dry dough because it is thick.
BAKING POWDER:
- We have to use fresh variety of baking powder to prepare these scones. It helps to provide the light texture & slight lift.
SALT:
- Salt counterbalances the Erythritol sweetness, which also improves flavor. A tiny quantity makes a big difference in the overall flavor.
ERYTHRITOL:
- Granulated Erythritol gives a subtle sweetness without adding more calories or carbohydrates. It doesn’t have a grainy texture when baked & mixes easily with the dough.
COLD BUTTER:
- Cold unsalted butter is essential for a flaky, buttery texture. Cut it into the flour mixture till tiny crumbs form for the best consistency.
EGGS:
- Eggs provide the scones’ structure & help to bind the ingredients. They also give a faint golden color & richness when cooked.
HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy cream adds a subtle depth of flavor that balances the almond flour in addition to keeping the scones soft & moist. It aids in browning as well.
VANILLA ESSENCE:
- Vanilla extract provides the warm aroma & enhances their taste. We need one teaspoon to organically increase the overall sweetness.
