How to Make Lemon Scones Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom (or coriander), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil over the dry ingredients and use a fork to cut the oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg. Reserve 1 tablespoon of egg white for glazing.
  5. Stir in 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt and the zest of 1 large lemon into the flour mixture along with the remaining egg white.
  6. Gently stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  8. Knead the dough gently about 8 times to bring it together.
  9. Pat the dough into an 8-inch circle.
  10. Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
  11. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each scone.
  12. Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved egg white.
  13. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  14. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
