The recipe is based of off Gina's but we halved it and made some changes both due to what we had and to lower calories.

For example, we did not have (defrosted) butter so we had to use smart balance. It was cold but it may not have worked as well as real butter. Also, we did not have egg so we just used egg beaters both inside and for the topping. We used half white whole wheat and half all purpose. Also, we did not have 2% milk so we used half skim and half whole (we have whole milk for coffee). And of course, we used splenda instead of sugar except for topping

They were really good. Not overly sweet but scones aren't supposed to be. We would do this again. Especially since they are only 3 points each!

The numbers before may be for a serving size divided by what went into the recipe. They are points plus

1/8 cup of Skim...2/8=0.25

1/8 cup whole...4/8=0.50

1/8 cup egg beater...0.6/2=0.3

1/2 cup white whole wheat flour...2x2.7=5.4

1/2 all purpose flour...2*2.7=5.4

1.5 tbsp Smart Balance...1.5*1.3=1.95

1/2 cup Pomegranate seeds...0

sprinkle of sugar...1

-----------------------------------------------

14.8 which is approx. 15. We cut it into 6 servings so say 3 each!

Side note: Whole wheat flour doesn't save you anything anymore :-(
