Brought these to brunch with "the ladies" this morning, where they were gobbled up quickly! I added 1/4 cup buttermilk to the dough, and substituted Splenda for the sugar. Also, I only made 8 because I like 'em big, so that required about 5 extra minutes in the oven. Good stuff, thanks!

We really enjoyed these scones. They rate a high 4 for taste with us, but given the health factor they are bumped up to a 5 for sure! I did cheat a little and mixed up some raspberry butter to spread on top and that made these even better.

If made as stated this WW recipe should have 2 points per scone. Very Good.
