Low-Point Cheddar Cheese Scones Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese, salt, garlic powder (if using), and dried herbs (if using).
Add the softened light butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and low-fat milk until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until smooth.
Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness and use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out scone shapes.
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Remember to calculate the W/W points based on the specific products and serving sizes you use, as the point values can vary.
