You will love these homemade gluten free eggnog chocolate chip scones for the holidays. Simple instructions to make these scones.
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free flour blend * see note
- ½ cup cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder aluminum-free
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold
- ½ cup eggnog regular or dairy free
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F.
- In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
- Chop cold butter and put chunks into the dry ingredients.
- Use a pastry blender to cut in the cold butter into the flour. It should resemble grains when done.
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs and eggnog.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Add chips and mix well.
- Place a piece of wax paper down on the counter.
- Drop the dough on top.
- Place another piece of wax paper on top.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle.
- Roll the dough to 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into pieces. (See photo above.)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until slightly golden. Actual baking time will depend on how thick your scones are.
- Serve warm or cold.
- Optional: Drizzle with icing, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, etc.
Notes
- 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.
- If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter and use dairy-free eggnog.
- These scones will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container 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.
