200g ultra fine fibre flour
50g butter
50g fibre sugar or similar sweetner

2. Add the egg, lemon juice and milk and mix until the mixture comes together, add more milk if necessary.
3. Turn out onto a work surface and cut out 6 scones and place onto a baking sheet. You can go smaller if you want to to make more scones, just use a smaller cutter and bake for 15 mins.
4. Brush with egg yolk if you like a nice sheen on your scones.
5. Bake Gas 5 or 180 fan for 20 mins.
6 Serve with your favourite no sugar jam and good dollop of fresh Cornish clotted cream.
Variations - If you are not on a seriously low carb diet then add some sultanas, glace cherries or other dried fruit. Chopped nuts also work well.
The flavoring additives would also be potentially toxic if ingested when it doesn’t come off as quickly by the consumer. Grinding the tea leaves by hand would ultimately concentrate these metals and also enhance the taste, thus it is recommended to buy your own tea bags or tea infuser. You should definitely try out blue ternate tea. Here’s Tea Infusers .
