There is something so comforting about enjoying a scone with jam and cream and a cup of tea or a relaxing afternoon at home.
These scones have a lovely dense texture with a light crumb, and are best served with keto jam and freshly whipped cream. If you want the scones to be more authentic, use clotted cream, if you can find it. Traditional clotted cream is very thick, contains 60% fat and it's absolutely delicious! Think something between cream and butter, perfect for spreading.
Recipe Tips
If you're using clotted cream, just one tablespoon per scone will be enough. Clotted cream is thick and very high in fat (about 60%).
These keto scones are egg-free which means that they won't rise as much. If you want more volume, try swapping the baking soda with 2 teaspoon of baking powder, or use 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar in addition to the 1/2 tsp of baking soda.
These scones tend to be a little crumbly. If you prefer a firmer texture, try adding up to 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the dough.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F (conventional), or 160 °C/ 320 °F (fan assisted). Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add the rub in the butter until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs. Note that these scones tend to be a little crumbly. If you prefer a firmer texture, try adding up to 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the dough.
- Make a well in the centre and add the yoghurt, and then use a knife to incorporate it into the flour mixture.
- Pour the mixture out onto a bench top lightly floured with coconut flour. Gently bring the mixture together into a ball, and then flatten out softly to about 3 cm/ 1.2 inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out 8 scone shapes (or more if you're making a double batch), and place on a greased baking tray.
- Thin the cream with a teaspoon of water, and use to brush the tops of the scones.
- Bake 18-22 minutes or until browned evenly on top. Allow to cool 20 minutes on the pan, and then transfer to a wire baking to tray to cool completely.
- To serve, cut in half and serve with a smear of low-carb jam (about a tablespoon per scone) and a dollop of whipped cream.
- The scones will last 3-4 days in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, they will last a week in the fridge, or freeze on a tray, and then transfer to a container or freezer bag. They are best served heated after defrosting.
