Berry Delicious Scones


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  • Coat a baking sheet with canola cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, whisk together 2 cups self-rising flour and ½ cup sugar. Stir in 1 cup diced fresh strawberries and 1 cup blueberries. Make a well in the center.
  • In smaller bowl stir together ½ cup reduced-fat buttermilk, ½ teaspoon almond extract, and 1 T. corn oil.
  • Pour liquid mixture into the well of the dry ingredients.
  • Stir with a fork, just until combined. Do not over mix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
  • Divide the dough in half.
  • Flour your hands and shape each half into a ball.
  • Place the two balls on the baking sheet, about 5 inches apart.
  • Flatten each into a 6-inch disk.
  • Using a pizza cutter, score each disk into 8 wedges, but don’t cut all the way through.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes on a cooking rack.
  • Separate the wedges with a knife.
  • While scones are cooling, in a small bowl whisk together 1/3 cup Confectioners’ sugar, 2 teaspoons fat-free milk, and /18 teaspoon almond extract. Drizzle the glaze over the scones.
