Gluten-free Scones. My hubby loves scones. The kids do like the cheesy ones. Who can resist the flaky buttery goodness of the soft scones. Scones are a wonderful breakfast item to have with tea or coffee. How about splitting the scones and adding a little bite of jam. With bake goods, I always love breakfast items. They can be a lot of fun. It is amazing what you can do with flour. Flour can be used to make all these tasty treats.
Gluten-free Scones Recipe
2 cup of gluten-free flour
1/4 cup extra flour (this is for rolling the dough or transfer to baking tray)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 egg
1/2 cup non-dairy milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup of butter(cold)
Optional: 1/2 cup toppings like blueberries/cheddar cheese
Instructions:
1. Pre-head the oven. Oven should be 350-F.
2. With a bowl, add in gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cold butter should be cut into small chunks. Add in to the bowl with the dry mix.
4. If you have a pastry blender to get the butter into the flour. Or, I used a potato masher to do the same. Do this until the butter is in little pieces.
5. In a bowl, add in the eggs, almond milk and vanilla extract. Blend together.
6. Mix the wet ingredients with dry ingredients.
7. This would be a good time to add fruit like raspberry, strawberry, or blueberry. Fold gently with fruits.
8. Use a baking tray and lay parchment paper on top. Sprinkle flour on the surface of the parchment paper.
9. Flatten dough and put a wax paper on top. If the dough has too much butter, the dough is too soft. Do use a spoon to scoop the batter on the
baking sheet. The dough should be 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches.
10. Cut circle with biscuit cutter.
11. Bake 20 – 22 minutes.
12. Allow the scone to cool.
