Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream for brushing
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Gently fold the blueberries into the dough, being careful not to crush them.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
Cut the circle into 8 wedges or triangles. Transfer each piece onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk or cream, then sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18–20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and cooked through.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
