Gluten And Lactose Free Cinnamon Apple Drop Scones Recipes

EASY GLUTEN FREE APPLE CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl (I use these mixing bowls), combine the gluten-free flour, cinnamon, baking soda and sweetener of choice. Add the cold cubed butter and give it a stir to coat the butter with the flour mixture. Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together until the mixture is fully combined and crumbly - the butter should be the size of peas, do not over mix.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg, sour cream/buttermilk and vanilla and stir to combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula, just until the ingredients almost come fully together - do not quickly stir (only gentle folding) and do not over mix. Gently fold in the apples, just enough to be mostly mixed into the dough.
• Pour the dough into the center of the lined baking sheet. Flour clean hands if needed. Start to shape the dough into a rustic 9 inch circle, gently patting the dough to form it into a circle, making sure not to overwork the delicate dough.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the round circle into 8 triangular pieces. Carefully separate the triangular pieces using the knife or a spatula underneath the bottom of the scone, just enough to make some space between each scone (because they will expand).
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the scones are slightly puffed up, lightly golden brown and done in the center.
• Let the scones cool completely on the baking sheet placed on a cooling rack.
• To make the glaze, add the apricot jam and maple syrup to a small saucepan and heat on low just until the apricot jam has melted, then immediately remove from heat. Use a pastry brush to glaze the apricot-maple mixture over the scones.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!
