I love a great scone! They requirement a good crumb that collapses a little as you bite and what makes it even muchbetter … they’re gluten totallyfree!

Ingredients

450g gluten-free flour
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
100g really cold butter, cut into little cubes
300mL milk, plus a little additional to brush tops
½ cup gently whipped cream, to serve
2 tablespoon butter, to serve
¼ cup jam, to serve

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C.
Place flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl, include butter cubes and rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips till it lookslike damp sand.
Make a well in the centre and put in milk. Use a fork to bring the flour into the milk.
Once it comes together, idea onto a floured surfacearea and carefully press into a disc about 3cm thick.
Flour a scone cutter and cut rounds from the dough. Place on a tray lined with baking paper.
Gently reform the staying dough and continue cutting out rounds.
Brush the tops with milk and bake for about 20-25 minutes or upuntil golden brown.
Serve with gently whipped cream, butter and your preferred jam.
Tip: Don’t overwork these scones or they will endupbeing hard. Handle the dough as little as possible.
