Gluten Free Cheese Scones
Savory gluten free cheese and herb scones are delicious to serve with any meal, or even a hot bowl of soup.
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free corn flour * see note
- ⅓ cup sorghum flour
- ¼ cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter cold
- 6 ounces grated cheese
- 2 egg yolks
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon chopped rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F.
- In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients.
- Whisk to blend.
- Add cold butter and cut into flour with pastry blender.
- In a small bowl add milk, egg yolks, and spices.
- Pour into dry ingredients and mix.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Put dough in middle and press into a circle shape about 1 inch thick.
- Cut sections in the raw dough.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until done.
- Serve either warm or cold.
Notes
- If you prefer to use a gluten free flour blend, feel free to substitute it for the sorghum, corn flour, and tapioca starch.
- Make sure your corn flour is labeled gluten free. You also want to make sure you use flour and it is not grits style. Thick grinds of corn flour will make hard crunchy bits in your scones.
- Make sure your butter is very cold so that it will add flakiness to your scones.
- These scones will keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days. They will get hard in the refrigerator, but you can microwave them for 35 seconds to soften them.
