Tips for Making Low Carb Keto Scones
Here is a few tips to keep in mind to make sure
your low carb scones come out as good as ours do.
Use finely ground almond flour. In just about
every low carb recipe youre better off using
flours
that are finely ground. With almond flour you
will often see almond meal, almond flour, and
finely ground almond flour. We always choose
the most finely ground version we can.
9
Grease your knife before cutting the scones.
Using coconut oil to coat the knife prior to
cutting
the scones will ensure they do not stick to the
knife. This makes for an easier cutting process
and
guarantees your scones will come out nice and
pretty.
Allow the scones to fully cool before adding
the glaze. If the scones are still warm when you
add
the glaze it will become thin and run off of the
scones. If you want the scones to hold onto the
glaze let them fully cool and a cooling rack for
20-30 minutes prior to adding the glaze.
