Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, blueberries, or chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream + 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • If using, gently fold in your desired add-ins, such as dried cranberries or chocolate chips.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut out the scones.
  • Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the scones cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, with a pat of butter, jam, or clotted cream.
