Ingredients:

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 2/3 cup milk dairy-free milk for a dairy-free option
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins optional

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425F 220C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs

Stir in the dried cranberries or raisins if using

In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and pure vanilla extract

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky

Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle

Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones from the dough

Place them onto the prepared baking sheet

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through

Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack

Serve with your favorite gluten-free jam and a dollop of dairy-free cream if desired

Enjoy your gluten-free scones
