Ingredient notes:

• Gluten free flour blend - I tested this recipe using Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend and King Arthur's Measure for Measure Gluten Free Blend. That doesn't mean others will not work; I just have not tested other flours.
• If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
• Bacon - You can use any pork or turkey bacon.
• Maple syrup - You can use any type, grade A or B.

You will love these scones with a hot cup of coffee or tea. They make a delicious breakfast or mid-afternoon snack!

How to make gluten free maple bacon scones:

Step 1: First, add the dry ingredients and cold butter. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. The dough will be grainy when you are done.

Step 2: Add the cooked and chopped bacon and pecans. Mix and then add all of the wet ingredients into the bowl. Mix well.

The gluten free scone batter will be thick, as shown above. You can see the bacon chunks in the batter.

Step 3: Press the scone batter into a scone pan and bake. These easy Gluten Free Maple Bacon Scones are almost ready! See below for directions to make these scones without a scones pan.

Step 4: Bake at 350º F for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the scone pan and allow it to cool on a rack.

Step 5: Mix the powdered sugar and maple syrup. Mix the glaze. (Mix carefully so the powdered sugar doesn't go flying!)

Step 6: Dip the scones into the maple syrup to coat each scone. Remove from the glaze and allow to dry on a cooling rack. Optional: top with a pecan half.

To make scones without a scone pan:

1. Take your scone batter and place it on parchment paper.
2. Form it into a circle about 2 inches tall.
3. Use a knife to precut into triangle-shaped wedges.
4. Bake at 350º F for 20-25 minutes until done.
5. Remove from the oven and re-cut the cut lines.
6. Make the maple drizzle the same as directed below.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 cups gluten free flour blend * see note
• ▢ 2 tablespoons sugar
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ▢ 8 tablespoons butter cold
• ▢ 2 eggs
• ▢ ½ cup almond milk
• ▢ ¼ cup chopped cooked bacon
• ▢ ¼ cup chopped pecans
• ▢ ½ cup powdered sugar (glaze)
• ▢ 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350º F.
• In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk to blend.
• Add chunks of cold butter. Use a pastry blender to chop up all of the butter. Your dough will be grainy. (You can also use a food processor to do this.)
• In a small bowl, add eggs and milk. Add to scone dough with the chopped cooked bacon and pecans.
• Mix well.
• Grease a scone pan and add batter to each section and bake for 22-25 minutes.
• Remove scones from the oven. Take out of the scone pan and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
• In a bowl, add powdered sugar and maple syrup. When the scones are cool, dip one side into the glaze and put back on the rack until the glaze hardens.

Notes

1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
3. These scones will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
