NYC SCONE (dairy, egg, soy free, agave sweetened)

Wow! Jul 13 was the day I’ve created another magic in my life. In fact, I was truly blessed by God. I’ve tested another scone recipe which is dairy, egg, soy free, agave sweetened. YES! I managed to find agave nectar in KL. agave nectar—a natural syrup from a cactus which is low on the glycemia index and often a safe alternative to most non-insulin dependant diabetics. It’s a Mexican products. I’ve been searching agave from internet and was about to order from internet. Costing was the issue which been holding me back from doing that. I’ve to admit that this recipe is very costing (all in organic ingredients). When come to think about health conscious, it’s definitely worth it. Organic and delicious alternatives free from the common allergens: wheat, gluten, dairy, casein and eggs.

Pleased to share the recipe as below.
