Gluten Free Scones Recipes

GLUTEN FREE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250°C/475°F/Gas 9.
• Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Rub in the butter. Add the sultanas and gently mix together.
• Lightly whisk the eggs and natural yoghurt together.
• Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the egg and yoghurt mixture. Mix to soft dough, adding a little more natural yoghurt if necessary.
• Turn onto a rice-floured board and knead lightly, just enough to shape into a round. Roll out to about 2.5cm/1in thick and cut out rounds using a 5.5cm/2¼in cutter. Place on a rice-floured baking sheet and brush with a little egg wash.
• Bake for approximately 10 minutes until golden brown on top. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
• Serve split in half with butter and jam.

GLUTEN FREE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200'C and line a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper. Set aside while you make the scone mix.
• Add the butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl and sift in the gluten free flour, baking powder and xantham gum. Using your fingers, rub the mix together until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add the milk to a jug and then crack in an egg and beat lightly until combined. Pour into the flour mix and use a wooden spoon to bring the mix together. As soon as it comes together as a dough, lightly flour the worktop and turn it out.
• Knead the dough a couple of times to bring it together (you don't want to over-knead) then use your hands to bring the dough into a circle. Flatten using your hands (or a rolling pin) to approx 3cm thick. Using a 5cm fluted cutter, cut out 12 circles from the dough. When you run out, just roughly bring the leftovers together and flatten again - don't keep kneading in between, it doesn't matter if they're a bit rustic!
• Place the circles on the lined baking tray with a 2cm gap between them. Brush each scone with a little milk. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until golden on top. Cool on a rack before serving. These are best served fresh and warm, approx 5-10 minutes after removing from the oven.
• Add the strawberries, lemon juice and sugar to a pan and place on a low heat. Bring to the boil and allow to boil steadily for 10-15 minutes until the jam is set. To test it, spoon out a tiny bit of the jam onto a cold plate and leave for a minute. If you can push it with your finger and it doesn't flood back, it's ready. Once cooked, leave to cool for 15 minutes before placing in a sterilised, airtight jar ready for serving.

BEST EVER GLUTEN FREE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a large baking sheet (or line with parchment). Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt. Work in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly with pea-sized or just larger bits of butter remaining. Gently stir in the additions. Whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla until frothy.Add to the dry ingredients, stirring until well blended. The dough should be cohesive and very sticky. Place on a gf floured surface. Pat out to about 1 in. thick (do not attempt to roll out - the dough will be too sticky for this and adding more flour will only create a dry, dense, result) . Use a biscuit cutter to cut into circles and place onto prepared pan. Lightly brush milk on top of the scones and sprinkle with sparkling sugar if desired. Place baking sheet, uncovered, in the freezer for 15 minutes. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

• Cut with a scone cutter and place on a lightly greased baking tray (or you can use a good quality baking paper). Place the scones close together. Lightly brush the top of scones with a little milk.
• Bake 10 -15 minutes on the top shelf of the oven.

• Divide dough in half. On surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix, pat each half into a 6-inch round. Cut each round into 6 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
• Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove parchment paper with scones to cooling rack. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle half the icing over warm scones. Sprinkle with almonds. Drizzle with remaining icing. Serve warm.

GLUTEN-FREE CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place nonstick baking mat or sheet of cooking parchment paper on cookie sheet; if using parchment paper, spray paper with cooking spray (without flour).
• In medium bowl, mix flours, 6 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and the salt; set aside. In small bowl, beat eggs, ghee, milk, xanthan gum and guar gum with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients; beat on low speed until blended.

GLUTEN-FREE SCONES

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt, xanthan gum, baking powder and sugar together in a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until you have fine breadcrumbs. You can also do this by gradually pulsing the mixture in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Whisk together the milk and whole egg and gradually mix into the flour mixture with your hands until you have a smooth dough. Mix in the sultanas, if using. Knead briefly to come together into a ball.
• Gently roll out the scone dough until 2cm thick. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment and chill for 30 mins to firm up the dough - this makes them easier to cut out.
• Remove the dough from the fridge and, using a 5cm cutter, cut out 6-8 scones (press the offcuts together and re-roll when you need to). Put the scones upside down (this will mean you get a neater top when baked) onto another baking tray lined with baking parchment, spread 2cm apart.
• Whisk the egg yolk and evenly brush the tops of the scones, making sure that the egg wash doesn't run down the sides of the scones otherwise they will rise unevenly. Put the scones on a tray and transfer to the freezer for 15 mins. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Remove the scones from the freezer and brush the tops with the beaten egg again, then bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown. Eat just warm or cold, generously topped with jam and cream, if you like.
