AMAZING Vanilla Bean Scones - 56 Cal!

Ah! I love scones, found this recipe and modified it slightly so it's only 56 Cal per mini-scone!!!

Ingredients:
- 225g self-raising flour (I used gluten-free)
- 1tsp baking powder
- 50g margarine (I used flora light)
- 12.5 sachets Stevia sachets (or any form of sweetener to equate to 1/4 cup sugar or 12.5 tsp)
- Pinch salt
- 100mL skim milk (I used pura light)
- 1tbsp vanilla extract (not essence)

Method:
- Preheat oven to 220 Celsius (450F)
- Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl
- Add margarine and rub it in to form a bread-crumb like consistency
- Stir in the Stevia and salt
- In a jug, whisk an egg and add skim milk to make up 150mL (approximately 100mL skim milk)
- Stir vanilla extract into jug
- Pour most of the vanilla-egg mixture into flour mix, leave approximately 2 tablespoons in the jug
- Mix the vanilla-egg mixture into the flour mix with a knife, and when it starts to come together, use your hands to form a ball
- If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour (should be soft but not too sticky)
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll out to a depth of ~2cm
- Cut rounds (I used a shot-glass to cut out small rounds) and place on a greased baking tray
- Brush the top of each scone with the remaining vanilla-egg mixture
- Bake for 10 minutes or until just risen and golden in colour

Serve with jam, strawberries, or cream (those calories not included!)

Serves: 20
