Hi. Let me know what you think - I haven't as yet made any - what time is tea then?

Wouldnt that be nice - a forum low carb tea party! Better practice sipping tea with our little fingers in the air 🙂

That don't sound like enough liquid to me - but I could be wrong and usually am LOL

Erm....I've just doubled checked the ingredients TW - no sign of water in the ingredients - seems the egg is the liquid here and melted butter.

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

I'm going to try these, thanks WL 🙂

 

[trophywench]

Think if I were adding anything if would be a drop of milk - I mean that is what you do with ordinary wheat flour scones - OTOH you definitely don't want it to be 'wet' - so maybe it will be fine? Someone's got to try !

 

[fairyhedgehog]

I've now made these with a bit of mixed spice and a drop of vanilla extract. I wouldn't call them scones, but they make rather nice rock cakes!

Just giving this thread a bump-up for Newbies to try🙂

One man’s rock cake is another man’s scone .......... what’s in a name?

 

[HOBIE]

Rock-Scone 😉.

I made a batch yesterday. They’re slightly crumbly in consistency but tasty with a nice dollop of butter.

Encouraging Browser. 🙂 I could devour a nice scone or 6 thick with lashing of butter and maybe some whipped cream and strawberries or raspberries.

You know what, it's so miserable outside today that I might give these a go. I have all the ingredients.🙂
