Vanilla Blueberry scones


First of all, I have lost 12 pounds.  I am pretty excited.  Now, to stay motivated and keep it up.  I made these delicious scones today, they are not too sweet and go great with tea or coffee.  This recipe is as low calorie as you can make them and about 200 calories less than how I originally made them!  After all of the sugar binging I have done in the few days since our dog died, it was time to get back to eating healthy!

Vanilla blueberry scones

 2 cups flour
1/3 cup splenda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
8 tbs light margarine, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup light sour cream (not fat free)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup blueberries.  (You can use frozen that have been thawed and well drained.)
1 TBS sugar

Preheat oven to 400.
In a medium bowl, Sift together flour, splenda, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add margarine and combine until it resembles coarse crumbs
In a small bowl, whisk egg, sour cream, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients, Mix until dough comes together.  Add blueberries, mix lightly, try not to break too many or the dough will turn blue.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and spread into a 1/2 inch thick circle.  Cut into 10 triangles and place on a baking sheet, liberally sprayed with cooking spray.
Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 400 for 15-17 minutes until golden and delicious!
Allow to cool on pan about 5 minutes.
