Lemon Scones
Recipe Tip
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.
