This morning I decided to make myself a little treat, so I got to work on these scones. First of all I have never had a English type scone before so I was excited for this little adventure. To make these gluten free I replaced the flour with an Bob’s Redmill All Purpose Flour Mix and also added in some Xanthan gum (which helps hold things together like the gluten would do).
I wish I had a pastry blender like Ree used but I just stuck with the old fork method. Besides that part taking a bit of time, the dough was quite easy to mix up with only a few ingredients. I was surprised by the amount of baking powder the recipe called for but I guess she knows what she is talking about!
The icing was pretty straight forward to make. Since we don’t drink coffee I didn’t really know what to substitute for it (diet coke? haha just kidding) so I just left it out. The icing was delicious and was prefect to pair with the more plain flavored scone! The texture of the scone was a little dry and crumbly but I think that was because it didn’t have gluten in it. I am going to make the regular version for Sean later because he isn’t too thrilled about eating gluten free baked goods. I will let you know how those turn out!

Looks tasty! I need to fix these too. Man, I'm falling behind :)
I need to fix these also. I actually do have all the ingredients, so hopefully, I will get them baked this week :). It's interesting to see what you do to the recipes Leslee, so that you can eat them.
Your scones look so professional looking - much better than mine!
