Gluten Free Cheddar Dill Scones Recipes

CHEDDAR-DILL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine 4 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Mix the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Toss together the Cheddar, dill, and 1 tablespoon of flour and add them to the dough. Mix until they are almost incorporated.
• Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for 1 minute, until the Cheddar and dill are well distributed. Roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch squares and then in half diagonally to make triangles. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outside is crusty and the inside is fully baked.

CHEDDAR DILL SCONES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, fresh chopped chives, and dill. Gently whisk until all the ingredients are combined.
• Using a box grater, grate the cheese. Add the grated cheese to the flour mixture and gently toss until the cheese is coated in flour.
• With the same box grater, grate the butter. I recommend pulling the butter from the freezer immediately before grating so it holds together. (Don't worry if it starts to melt in your hand.) Add the grated butter to the mixing bowl with the cheese and gently stir to combine.
• Add the buttermilk to the bowl and stir using a large spoon about 8-10 times until incorporated. Then, use your hands to bring the dough together into a disk. Don't worry if it's crumbly-it's supposed to be! Scone dough should stay shaggy and not be completely smooth, which gives it that wonderful sconey-texutre.
• Preheat your oven to 375°F if you plan on baking right away. Then, form an 8- inch to 9-inch disk of dough on a cutting board or right on the counter. Cut the dough into 8 wedges (just like you would a pizza). Separate the pieces and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Place the scones in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to make sure the butter is as cool as possible before it goes in the oven. You can leave your scones uncovered in the freezer for up to 1 hour. If you'd like to freeze them for longer (up to 2 weeks), cover each raw scone tightly with plastic wrap and cook whenever you're ready.
• Bake the scones for 20 minutes or until they are light golden brown on top. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving them. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine the dry ingredients.
• Cut in the butter using two knives.
• Add the beaten egg and milk to the dry ingredients, mixing with a fork. The batter will be thick and lumpy. Fold in the shredded cheese.
• Drop large, tall dollops onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. About 1/4 cup of batter will make for even scones.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes until lightly browned.

GLUTEN-FREE SCONES

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt, xanthan gum, baking powder and sugar together in a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until you have fine breadcrumbs. You can also do this by gradually pulsing the mixture in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Whisk together the milk and whole egg and gradually mix into the flour mixture with your hands until you have a smooth dough. Mix in the sultanas, if using. Knead briefly to come together into a ball.
• Gently roll out the scone dough until 2cm thick. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment and chill for 30 mins to firm up the dough - this makes them easier to cut out.
• Remove the dough from the fridge and, using a 5cm cutter, cut out 6-8 scones (press the offcuts together and re-roll when you need to). Put the scones upside down (this will mean you get a neater top when baked) onto another baking tray lined with baking parchment, spread 2cm apart.
• Whisk the egg yolk and evenly brush the tops of the scones, making sure that the egg wash doesn't run down the sides of the scones otherwise they will rise unevenly. Put the scones on a tray and transfer to the freezer for 15 mins. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Remove the scones from the freezer and brush the tops with the beaten egg again, then bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown. Eat just warm or cold, generously topped with jam and cream, if you like.

GLUTEN FREE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250°C/475°F/Gas 9.
• Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Rub in the butter. Add the sultanas and gently mix together.
• Lightly whisk the eggs and natural yoghurt together.
• Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the egg and yoghurt mixture. Mix to soft dough, adding a little more natural yoghurt if necessary.
• Turn onto a rice-floured board and knead lightly, just enough to shape into a round. Roll out to about 2.5cm/1in thick and cut out rounds using a 5.5cm/2¼in cutter. Place on a rice-floured baking sheet and brush with a little egg wash.
• Bake for approximately 10 minutes until golden brown on top. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
• Serve split in half with butter and jam.
