Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1 third cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, cold and diced
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 cup Whole Milk
- 1 cup Gluten-Free Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour-butter mixture, stirring just until combined and a dough forms.
Fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 7-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.
Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your gluten-free chocolate chip scones!
