Instructions
Prepare: Preheat the oven to 300 F. Set aside a baking half sheet lined with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
Make Dough: Mix all ingredients together using your hands in a medium bowl until a single dough forms. The mixture will be very crumbly at first, then eventually combine into a cohesive dough. If dough is too dry to combine, mix in a few drops of water or melted butter.

NOTES & TIPS
(1) Almond Flour. Same as 4 ounces weight. I use almond flour that is blanched, which means the skins are taken off of the almonds, so that the resulting flour looks white. Don’t substitute with coconut flour or other flours, which vary in their absorbency and aren’t a 1:1 substitution.
(2) Sweetener. Same as 1.2 ounces weight. Confectioners Swerve is a dry erythritol-based sweetener that measures the same as regular powdered sugar. You can substitute with your favorite dry sweetener. To calculate the amount to use, check your sweetener’s packaging to determine how its sweetness compares.
(3) Grating Lemons. I use a microplane to get very fine zest, 2 to 3 tablespoons lightly packed zest from 2 medium lemons. Avoid grating bitter white areas. The rest of the lemons aren’t used in this recipe; squeeze them for fresh juice to use in Lemon Posset or Lemon Fat Bombs.
(4) Egg Yolk. Don’t use the whole egg, which would add too much liquid and result in dough that’s too sticky to handle.
(5) Serving. Serve them with toppings like softened butter and warm Keto Blueberry Jam. If you have leftovers, cool scones completely then store in a covered container or ziploc bag at room temperature for up to a few days. Serve them at room temperature; no need to reheat. They will still be quite good!
(6) Nutrition. Assumes you are using Swerve or similar erythritol-based sweetener that uses sugar alcohols, whose carbs are non-impact and not included in the nutrition estimate.
