Seriously delicious, though time intensive, these scones will surprise you with how moist and NON "gluten free" they taste! (Not sure that sentence made much sense.) I changed the recipe slightly from it's source, mostly because I didn't read the directions closely enough, but the result was wonderfully delightful! Here you are:
Sift together:
1/2 C white rice flour
1/2 C sorghum flour
1/2 C tapioca flour
1/2 C cornstarch
1/2 C almond or coconut flour
1/4 C sugar
3 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 + 1/8 tsp xanthum gum
3/4 tsp baking soda
Cut in:
1/2 C cold butter (cut into small pieces)
Add in:
3/4 C milk
1/2 C plain yogurt or sour cream
Mix wet ingredients in until well blended. Kneed the dough 5 or 6 times until it starts holding together. The dough will be pretty gooey and sticky, so you'll need a considerable layer of flour on your hands to prevent sticking (I used tapioca starch) Divide the dough ball in to two halves. Flatten each half in to 1/2 inch thick circles (rolling pin not necessary) and cut in to 6 wedges (with floured knife) Place them a couple inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 425 degrees
10-14 minutes or until lightly browned
The first variation of this recipe I made was cinnamon chip scones. It was a perfect match with a cup of hot Joe for breakfast! Here's the add-ins:
1/3 C cinnamon chips added in with sifted dry ingredients (recipe to follow)
cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top of scones before baking
Cinnamon chips: (I'm sure you can buy them, but I like making weird things like this and I was much too lazy to go hunting down something this obscure)
3 Tbls sugar
1 Tbls cinnamon
2 tsp shortening
2 tsp corn syrup
Mix all with a fork until well blended and crumbly - pat it out thin on to a foil lined (grease the foil) cookie sheet and bake until melted and bubbly - cool completely and break into tiny pieces.
250 degrees
30-40 min (mine took a little longer - I actually put them back in a couple times after cooling completely and not being able to break them - they were just too bendy - they crisp up nicely after a while, though)
It's the easy!
Sounds amazing! Im going to try when I get paid next! Have you looked into this ladies website? www.artofglutenfreebaking.com So great as well!!
