Marvelous scones. As a diabetic I needed to trim the fats and sugar. I used Splenda for all of the sugar except for the light sprinkling on top. I replaced the butter with 1/2 the ask for amount of a heart healthy margarine and the other half was applesauce. I used skim milk and fat free sour cream. They turned out light and tender inside with a wonderful crisped top. I enjoyed mine with a cup of Darjeeling tea. This is a recipe that I will use again!
