Easy Recipe for Gluten Free Scones

Gluten free scones are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional scones. They are made with gluten free flour, which is a type of flour that does not contain gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, and it can cause problems for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Gluten free scones are a great option for people with these conditions, as well as for anyone who wants to enjoy a delicious and healthy snack.

Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten free flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Fold in the milk until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes, just until it is smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1 inch thick.
6. Cut the dough into scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the scones cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
