Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Butter unsalted and divided
  • 5 tbsp Swerve Confectioner Sugar Substitute divided
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract
  • ½ tbsp Orange extract
  • 2 ¼ c Almond flour
  • 1 tsp Cream of tartar
  • ½ tsp Baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp Almond milk unsweetened
  • Orange zest to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tbsp of the melted butter and 2 tbsp of the Swerve sugar substitute. Blend until creamy.
  • Add in the eggs, and mix to combine well.
  • Mix in the almond flour, vanilla extract, orange extract, cream of tartar, baking powder, a pinch of salt, and orange zest to taste (we used 1-2 tsp.) Blend until completely incorporated.
  • Empty the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet, and form it into a flattened circle.
  • Cut the circle into 6 equal triangle shapes, and bake for 20 minutes.
  • When the scones have finished baking and are cooled, prepare the glaze by mixing together 1 tbsp of butter, 3 tbsp of Swerve confectioner sugar substitute and 2 tbsp of Unsweetened almond milk. Dip the scones face down into the glaze, and allow to dry for several minutes. Repeat the process again to get a thicker glaze.
  • Serve with some freshly grated orange zest on top immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
