Step-by-Step Instructions for Paleo Lemon Squash Scone
- Begin by grating the summer squash using a box grater. Place the squash in a clean kitchen towel, wrap it tightly, and twist to squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar. Whisk until well mixed.
- Cut the chilled coconut oil into small pieces and add it to the dry mixture. Blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, full-fat coconut milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined, and gently fold in the lemon juice and grated squash.
- Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes. Portion the dough onto a lined baking sheet, shaping each portion into a circle and slicing into 8 wedges.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the scones for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
