Home baked Gluten free scones,

Hi everyone,

Here's some scones I've just baked I thought that instead of making a dough and using a scone cutter that I'd make the dough and then roll it into a cylinder and slice that, its flattened it against the chopping board but its was really quick and easy and I like that, so these may not be conventional looking but I like simple country baking...

Here's the recipe: 225g Self raising GF flour I used doves farm 75g mixed dried fruit with peel 50g butter I egg 1 tablespoon brown sugar I tea spoon nutmeg a little milk to turn into a dough cut into slices and baked for 15mins @180C I cooked them on a baking tray with butter hence the lovely colour.

I had some home made plum jam given to me so can see that going down a treat with these, well thats the plan so I'm looking forward to this afternoons tea...😀

Ooh scrummy. Actually slicing them like that is a good idea I always find they end up very uneven and difficult to cut

Thank you I do the same with biscuits, I thought it looked more like toasted tea bread but it tastes like a scone and thats what counts. 😊

[MadBunny in reply to Hidden]

Yes I tend to do that with biscuits too. Doesn't matter what it looks like as long as they taste good.

your welcome I love seeing your posts because my brother is on a gluten free diet because of his autism .He gets hyper after he eats something that has gluten for some reason . it makes me happy that there are recipes and not a limited amount on them .

Ooh they look yummy Jerry and the good thing about scones is they have very little sugar in them. I bet they taste really good. 😋👍🌈

Thanks Alicia that’s true and with lots of dried fruit are even tastier. 🌈👍😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I love dried fruit, we should next door to each other, we could share our food😉

I made some yesterday and they were lovely, but they didn't really rise! Is there anything I can do to improve that?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

If you use baking powder and or self raising flour they should be OK, maybe the wasn't enough moisture? The main things is yours tasted lovely. 😊
