Ingredients 

For the scones

  • 2 cups (272 grams) gluten-free baking flour
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum, (omit if your blend contains it)
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (14.4 grams) aluminum-free baking powder
  • teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup sour cream, (245 grams) (I used lite)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, , divided
  • ½ cup (1 stick) (226 grams) unsalted cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup (200 grams) fresh strawberries, diced

For the glaze

  • ½ cup (112 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons (368 grams) milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon (4.2 grams) pure vanilla extract

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  • Sift the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork. Work the butter into the flour until it feels like wet sand. There shouldn’t be any large pieces of butter left.
  • Stir in the wet ingredients until it comes together. If it is too dry, add a bit of milk one teaspoon at a time. If the dough is too wet/sticky, add a tiny bit of flour until it reaches the right consistency. Fold in the strawberries.
  • Form dough into a ball and move to a cutting board dusted with flour. With your hands, form dough into a disk shape. Cover with plastic wrap and roll into a 10-inch (or so) disk.
  • Using a large knife or pizza wheel, cut the dough into 8 wedges and move to the prepared baking sheet. Place scones about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 18 minutes at 400°F. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • While the scones are cooling, make the glaze by combining powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the scones before serving.

Notes

Notes: I recommend refrigerating your scones for 30 minutes before baking. It helps them keep their shape.
