Ultimate Scone Recipe (THM-S) - A Mother's Heritage (2024)

Are you ready for the ultimate scone recipe? I’m so excited to share this recipe because I’ve attempted scones so many times and while they taste good, they really lacked that biscuit-like texture that makes a scone a scone. This one is different!

First of all, I absolutely love how versatile this recipe is. This is a cranberry/orange version, but the sky is the limit on the flavor combination possibilities! To keep this an S recipe, you can use any berry or nut in place of the cranberries – but stay away from other fruits (and dried fruits) to avoid a Crossover. You could even make these without any add-ins as a delicious shortbread cookie!

What is a scone? According to Webster’s Dictionary, scones originated in Scotland in the early 1500s. There is some debate as to the origin of the word “Skone”, some say it comes from the Dutch word ‘schoonbrot’, which means beautiful bread, while others argue it comes from Stone of Destiny, where the Kings of Scotland were crowned. I totally thought they were a British thing! All I know really is that I feel I need to not be in my pajamas while eating these. Scones must be eaten while properly dressed, hair done, and maybe even a touch of make-up, right? Do we use a fork or pick it up with our hands? Can I dunk it in my tea or coffee? I’m not used to such fancy-fare!

The THM Baking Blend in this recipe saves you a ton of calories, fat, and keeps these scones from being too dry. It’s also very affordable for a healthy, low-carb gluten free flour blend!

The baobab boost powder in these gives them a nice super-food kick with a hint of creamsicle flavor and if you’ve had any of my sweet recipes in the past, you know that I love the sugar-like taste of THM Gentle Sweet.

But, what I am MOST excited about is the new THM extracts! I was blessed to be able to preview the new flavors and let me tell you, they do NOT disappoint. Butter that tastes and smells like butter (not butterscotch!), apricot, peanut butter, chocolate, banana, and vanilla! I have used them all in various ways and I’m tempted to just drink them from the bottle or use them as a perfume as they smell so good! And I love that they are all natural!

I put some of my flavor combination ideas in the scone recipe notes section for you, but I’d love to hear what combo you’re excited to try. This recipe is super easy to throw together and tastes so indulgent. You absolutely MUST pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee to have alongside. Each scone is about 200 calories, 19 grams of fat, 2 net carbs, with 6 grams of protein. So, they make a great S afternoon snack or breakfast! If you want to add a bit more protein, consider a scoop of collagen in your tea or coffee.

My family and I are feeling so fancy enjoying our scones and tea this afternoon. Pinkies up, mamas!
