Strawberry Scones
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
- ⅛ 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.
