Lemon Scones

Egg-stra Special Whites

Egg whites provide the protein from eggs but don't contain the cholesterol found in egg yolks. That's good news for your heart.

Top It Off

To keep the fat and calories down even further, serve with all-fruit strawberry preserves instead of butter or margarine.

Actually Tastes European!!!

I tried these last night and loved them! They reminded me of the ones I used to eat overseas because they are not over loaded with sugar and have excellent flavor! My husband has a bit of a sweet tooth so I made a small bit of icing (powdered sugar, vanilla extract, & almond milk) for his. Note: Since we have dairy allergies in my family I substituted the yogurt for 1/2 cup of almond milk combined with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice (this usually acts as a buttermilk substitute). So don't avoid this recipe if you are dairy free! :-)

Wonderful!!

I am a really big Scone fan and I know how unhealthy the ones you buy at the stores can be. I decided to give this recipe a try and boy am I glad I did! Not only did I love them but my 4 yr old daughter and husband both couldn't keep away from them either. I am going to try switching out the lemon burst yogurt and try experimenting with different flavors for a little more variety.
