Gluten Free Scones

 

Gluten Free Scones Recipe

Gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, egg free

Makes approximately 16 small scones

Ingredients:

2½ cups (325g) Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
2 tbsps rapadura or coconut sugar (or sugar)
1 tsp xanthan gum (or guar gum) - you won't need this if you use a brand of flour that has xanthan gum in it
2 tsps gluten free baking powder
1 tbsp solid coconut oil
1 cup of milk (whatever you like - I used oat milk but this is not gluten free)
extra milk for brushing scones with

Method:

• Heat oven to 200°C
• Line a baking tray with baking paper
• Put all dry ingredients into a food processor or Thermomix and combine (5 secs, speed 5 in Thermomix)
• Add solid coconut oil and blitz until it resembles fine bread crumbs (5 secs, speed 5 in Thermomix) 
• Add the milk to the mixture and gently mix with a spoon or spatula - you may like to tip the dry mixture into a bowl before you do this (I did it in the Thermomix bowl with a spatula so I didn't have to wash extra dishes ;) )
• Tip out soft, sticky dough onto a lightly floured mat on the bench (use more of the Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour)
• Knead gently until smooth and spread out to about 2cm thick with your hands
• Use a small round cutter (about 5cm) to cut out the scones and place on prepared baking tray
• Brush top of scones with milk
• Put in hot oven to bake for approximately 10 - 12 minutes
• Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack
  
  

Note: I haven't tried this with recipe with any other brands of gluten free flour. I particularly like the Bob's Red Mill brand. If you haven't tried it, I urge you to give it a go!
