Classic Scones Recipe (Gluten-Free)
Classic Gluten-Free Scones Recipe! These biscuits are soft, buttery, and easy to make. Highly recommend serving them warm, filled with cream cheese and jam. Perfect for tea-time, and they freeze super well!
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, cooled
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- Cream, to brush
- Powdered sugar, to sprinkle the scones
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add cooled diced butter and rub with your finger until crumbs form.
- In another bowl, mix the egg with the milk. Add to the butter mixture and mix.
- Let rest covered in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured (GF flour) counter to a thickness of about 2 cm. Cut out the biscuits with a round cutter and repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Place the scones on the baking sheet, brush them with cream, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before removing.
- Serve warm and fill with cream cheese and jam.
Notes
Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. They freeze very well; you can freeze the dough and bake directly from frozen, or freeze baked scones. To reheat frozen scones, bake in a medium oven for about 10 minutes.
