I am a huge fan of the British inspired scone. To me this means slightly sweet, not too dry but lots of melt-in-your-mouth crumble. Now that I am gluten-free it is not an easy task to find something that hits that perfectly delicious scone lover spot. Well, guess what friends. . . I found the recipe! With a few tweaks and preferences, I can proudly say I have a fluffy, delicious, gluten-free scone that even those in the office who do not eat gluten-free could not leave on the plate. Seriously. . . the pile of scones were gone only a few minutes after this photo shoot! That is how good these are. We made these just in time for you to plan them into your Mother’s Day celebration and just so you know. . . I will be making a batch for our May 10 brunch. Enjoy! ~ Lia

Leave a CommentI’ve just gone gluten free, and this the first thing I’ve baked. They’re perfect, moist and sweet, absolutely delicious! Thank you for this recipe.
I’m so glad to hear it Donna!
What can be used as a substitute for Xanthan gum? Is it something that can be omitted completely? I want to make this recipe and it is the only ingredient I do not have available in the house.
Also, the ingredient list calls for “1/3 cup cold cream”, but the directions say “Whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl until frothy…”. Can you clarify it is 1/3 cup cold heavy cream or 1/3 cup cold whole milk?
Thanks

I haven’t tried the recipe without the xanthan gum, so I’m not sure of the best replacement but have read that arrowroot or cornstarch work as a replacement. You can use milk or cream– I use both and don’t notice a difference.
My scones were not sticky at all, they were very crumbly. What ingredient makes them sticky?
Oh no! Was your butter cold? I will pop mine in the freezer for a few minutes to make sure it’s really cold, that seems to help.
I made these scones for the first time today. Wow! They are delicious. I replaced the teaspoon of vanilla extract with the caviar from a vanilla bean and soaked it in the cream for 15 minutes in the refrigerator. It added great flavor and you can see the flecks of the caviar in the scones. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that I will continue to experiment with in the weeks ahead.
Ooh thanks for sharing, great idea! I’m so glad you loved them 🙂
Can you use frozen blueberries? If so, would you thaw them or put them in frozen?
Sure! I would try them frozen– it may change the consistency but should taste just as great 🙂
I love this recipe!!! I added some chopped almonds and it was yummy. Thanks for the recipe.
Sounds delicious, I will try that next time!
Tried the scones today to offer a gluten free option for our church fellowship time. They disappeared very quickly. The recipe says the dough will be quite sticky. Mine was the complete opposite and very dry. I added a little more cream and gently patted the dough into the 3 circles. I double checked the recipe and followed it exactly. Any suggestions?
Adding some cream was a great idea. The only thing I can think of would be to make sure the butter was cold, not melted.
Can you make these dairy free as well?
For scones the butter needs to be hard and cold the only thing I could think of is trying Earth Balance Vegan buttery sticks. I haven’t tried it myself.
Where did you get that adorable Owl tea set??
at West Elm:-)
I’ll be giving this recipe a try. Those look delicious! If I recall correctly, you are a Portlander…. If so, you should try South Store Cafe in Scholls. Their gf scones are delish and they have lots of other gluten free options as well’
I am a Portlander, hi! I have not, but thanks for the tip I will have to try it out:-)
Yummy!!!
They were, I was actually a bit surprised at how quickly they were polished off:-) About half of us in the office eat gluten free but they were enjoyed by everyone:-) Hope you have a lovely weekend!
what gluten free flour mix did you use? Looks like a yummy recipe and I can’t wait to try it!
I mix it myself based on a recipe from the America’s test kitchen.
