Ingredients
Gluten-Free Bread Mix
3 cups (I recommend using Orgran brand or any preferred gluten-free bread mix.)
Cream
1 cup (Use single or pouring cream for best results.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking tray by lightly dusting it with gluten-free flour.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free bread mix and cream. Stir gently until the mixture forms a soft dough. Be careful not to over-knead; combine just until no dry mix remains.
3
Lightly dust your working surface with gluten-free flour. Place the dough onto the surface and gently roll it out to a thickness of about 2.5 cm (1 inch), using two sheets of cling-wrap or baking paper to avoid sticking.
4
Using a scone or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds. Gather the scraps, re-knead lightly, and cut out additional scones until all the dough is used.
5
Place the scones on the prepared baking tray, positioning them fairly close together to help with rising. Brush the tops with a little milk for added color and shine.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
7
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite toppings!
