Servings 8 scones
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups 195g gluten free all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups 120g gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum and sugar. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Whisk in the milk, apple cider vinegar and egg until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Add in the raisins and mix until distributed.
- Dump the dough onto a floured surface. Work the dough into a round disc that measures about 6 inches across and is 3/4 of an inch tall. With a sharp knife, cut through the disc into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden on top.
Notes
To create traditional, non-gluten free scones, use all-purpose flour and omit the xanthan gum.
When using oats, be sure they are labeled "gluten free" if you are sensitive to gluten.
