I don't know about you, but what I dislike most about making traditional scones is needing to cut in butter. Sure you can use a food processor, but I still think it's annoying.
From a health standpoint, traditional scones definitely aren't far up there on the "good for me" list. They tend to be full of butter (saturated fat) and bleached white flour (hello, blood sugar spike!). One cinnamon chip scone from Panera has 530 calories and 27 grams of fat - geez! I certainly wouldn't recommend them. So does that mean scones are forever off the menu? Certainly not! Well, with these scones at least!
