Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated no-calorie sweetener*
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°E Lightly spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in blueberries; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, margarine, egg, and almond extract. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir just until moistened.
- Drop by heaping spoonfuls (about 1/4 cup) onto prepared baking pan, making 12 mounds. Sprinkle scones with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Notes:
Fresh blueberries give these light-biscuit-style scones their best appearance. If you use frozen berries, roll them first in one tablespoon of flour and stir them lightly into the batter to avoid very blue blueberry biscones.

I also made them and enjoyed them. At the time I did have buttermilk, but usually I don't, so I use the old 1 cup milk w/ 1 Tbs lemon juice or vinegar substitute (let milk w/vinegar or lemon juice sit 5 mins before using). I usually use lemon juice.

I make one that's similar but I'll add tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter. I drizzle a little of a powdered sugar/milk glaze atop them once they are out of the oven and I'll include a little lemon juice and zest in the glaze.

I absolutely freeze them. The only way they are diet food is if you freeze them and thaw/heat them one at a time. Otherwise you'd have to eat them all in a couple of days to keep them from going stale or bad!
I have a Philips Air Fryer and usually put one into it at 390° and let it go through the pre-heat cycle. When pre-heat is done, the biscone is usually ready, nice and crunchy on the outside. I generally undertake them the first time so that reheating them doesn't overbake them.

I made these last night and are they ever good! I did eat 2 and froze the rest. Think these may become a regular dessert at my house...
