Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and 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, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.
Gently stir in the raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring just until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured (gluten-free flour) surface and gently pat it into a round disk about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, like a pizza. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
