Ingredients

FOR GLAZE

  • 2tbsppowdered sweetener
  • 1tsplemon zestfine
  • 2tsplemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and set a rack to the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl mix almond flour, keto chow, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the poppyseeds.
  • Add the cubed butter and cut it in with a pastry blender or rub it in with the tips of your fingers until the mixture has the consistency of rough sand.
  • In a separate bowl beat the egg well, then mix in the sour cream and lemon extract.
  • Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until it starts to hold together. Gently press it together until it comes together into a ball of dough.
  • Place it on the parchment paper on the baking sheet and pat it into a circle about an inch thick and six and a half inches across.
  • Cut the circle in half and then each half into quarters to make eight triangles. Pull the pieces apart slightly so there’s a little space between each one.
  • Place them in the preheated oven and bake 15 – 20 minutes until they are golden around the edges and starting to brown on the bottom.
  • While they are baking, make the glaze by stirring the lemon zest and juice into the powdered sweetener.
  • When the scones come out of the oven brush a thin layer of glaze on each one and sprinkle with poppy seeds while the glaze is still soft.
  • Serve warm or cold.
