There’s nothing better on a cool afternoon than hot scones straight from the oven spread with lashings of butter and jam. This gluten free recipe is really quick and easy and doesn’t need many ingredients.
I use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour because I love the results I get with it but you could try this with any gluten free flour. You may need to adjust the amount of liquid a little if you do and if the flour you use has xanthan gum in it then there is no need to add that either.
This recipe can also be dairy free if you use dairy free milk and is nut free, egg free and soy free.
