Low Fat Mango Scones

These moist, flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth scones are great with jam for breakfast and a cup of coffee or hot tea.

Yield 20 to 24 pieces  Prep Time 30 minutes  Baking Time 20 minutes

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon or orange rind
1/2 cup butter, cold
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup diced ripe mangoes
1/4 cup low-fat milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
sugar for sprinkling

1   Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2  In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine dry ingredients and rind and stir. Add butter and beat until a meal forms. Add vanilla and mangoes. Add just enough of the milk-lemon juice mixture until the dough comes together.

3 With a small ice cream scooper, scoop dough onto a half sheet pan. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden on top.
