Use a gluten-free flour blend.

1.

A gluten-free baking flour that contains prevents the scones from spreading and gives them a lovely texture.

Chill your butter.

2.

Cold butter, or a dairy-free spread, helps the scones to rise. Measure your butter and chill while gathering the other ingredients.

Let the Dough Rest

4.

Chilling the dough is an important step. It allows the gluten-free flour to absorb the liquid.

Bake in a Preheated Oven

5.

A hot oven ensures that gluten-free scones bake evenly and rise nicely. Most ovens take about 15 minutes to preheat.

Cool on a Wire Rack.

5.

Placing scones on a wire rack to cool allows steam to escape, keeping the scones lightly crunchy on the outside.

Enjoy!

6.

Enjoy gluten-free scones with a dollop of whipped cream or on their own. They're great served with tea or coffee.
