Scones Recipe (Gluten-Free)
Classic Gluten-Free Scones Recipe! They're soft, buttery and easy to make. Highly recommend filling them 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 fingerprint until crumb forms.
- 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 400°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 with about 2 cm. thickness. 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 air-tight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. They freeze very well, to reheat frozen scones bake in a medium oven for about 10 minutes.
