Very slightly sweet, quite healthy compared to your average scone. If you want this sweet add another 1/2 cup sugar or splenda!! Great for on the go. This is also great if you add a cup of dried fruit such as blueberries, cherries or currants at the end. Be careful not to overmix and remember, these are not meant to be sweet. Caution this is a fairly moist dough, just use quite a bit of flour to avoid sticking. This recipe is lower calorie, high fiber, high protein (for a scone), and very low GI. These will keep you full for a very long time.
