Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 5/8 cups all purpose gluten free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your blend already contains it)
  • 5 tablespoons dry milk powder
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (chopped into chunks)
  • 1 egg (beaten and chilled)
  • Seeds from half of a vanilla bean
  • 2 tablespoons Lyle’s Golden Syrup

  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)
  • Seeds from the other half of a vanilla bean
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (plus more if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and incorporate the butter until crumbly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together, then combine with the dry ingredients until just mixed.
  4. Shape the dough, cut into scones, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
  6. For the glaze, mix confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over cooled scones.

Notes

Chill your ingredients for better texture and avoid overworking the dough to ensure fluffy scones.
