2 1/2 cup (s) self-raising white flour
2 tbs (s) caster sugar
3 tbs (s) Weight Watchers Canola Spread
1 cup (s) buttermilk
1/2 cup (s) all flavours of diet jam, (raspberry)
1/2 cup (s) low fat sour cream
2 tsp (s) powdered artificial sweetener
- Preheat oven to 210°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Combine flour, sugar and spread in a large bowl. Using fingertips, rub spread into flour until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Alternatively, place in a food processor and process until you have a breadcrumb consistency. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Make a well in centre of mixture. Add buttermilk and stir using a flat bladed butter knife until dough almost comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently to bring dough together.
- Roll dough until 2cm thick. Dip a 6cm round biscuit cutter into flour to prevent dough from sticking. Cut out as many scones as possible (about 9). Gently press remaining dough together. Roll out until 2.5cm thick (scones cut from second and third batches won't rise as high as those from first batch, so start with thicker dough). Cut out as many scones as possible.
- Place scones 1cm apart on prepared tray. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until lightly golden and hollow when tapped on top. Serve scones warm with jam.
- Meanwhile combine sour cream and sweetener in a small bowl and stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
