Scones

I don't like normal scones too much. They seem too dense and flavorless for me -- merely something to put jam or lemon curd on.

This recipe has a nicer flavor than most scones, and is not as dense.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a bowl combine:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour mix
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp nonfat yogurt (we use vanilla)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
After mixing, place the dough in a round lump on a baking tray that is greased or has a silicon mat.

Then cut the dough into quarters, and slightly separate them so they bake evenly.

Bake for about 16 minutes, until slightly browned.
