I made half a recipe. Used whole wheat flour only. We enjoyed them and will definitely make them again. Reviewed for PAC Spring 2008. -
These tasted good, but I'd hardly call them diabetic-friendly at a whopping 25 grams of carbohydrate apiece! -
These are scrumptious. I made then a tad more diabetic friendly by using 1 cup white flour and 3/4 cup of whole wheat (I made a half recipe). With the addition of the ww flour they still came out light in texture. I used my round biscuit cutter instead of making wedges thinking I would get more but smaller scones. I still got 8 lovely scones. Oh well, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet...or in this case the scones and I have done so quite happily. -
This was my first attempt at making scones. These are better than those bought in a bakery. They were easy to make and I took them in to work. My coworkers loved them too. You scored another winner Sarah!

I'm in 4-H and I help raise money every year for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes 2 days before my 6th birthday. I try to raise as much money as I can every year because I want to help find a cure for everyone out there with this disease.
