A Quest for the Best Gluten Free Scone Recipe

Finding a great gluten free scone recipe is not as easy as you’d think it should be. There are so many recipes on the internet to choose from. But deciding which ones will be soft and fluffy and which will be rock hard or crumble as soon as cut is tricky to decipher. As for stay-freshness? Another question to ponder! Whilst you wouldn’t expect the average scone to last for days and days, you would hope that it would last more than a couple of hours… even a gluten free one. Sadly however, this is often not the case.

Although I’ve made some great basic scones since going gluten free, the perfect plain gluten free scone recipe remained a little elusive… In my search, the question ‘what makes a great scone?’ has frequently been asked. And to answer, I have recalled my pre-gluten free days and some of the best Cream Teas in my history.

best-gluten-free-scones-jam-cream

The Most Memorable Cream Tea

My most nostalgic Cream Tea memory dates back (way too many) years to when I was a mere slip of an adolescent. I took a holiday to Devon with my sister in the family ‘hand me down’ orange Mini. In those days, Minis were tiny and noisy, but so much fun. I still have the number plate indelibly etched on my brain, so memorable was that Mini… RUR 598M. How many of you remember that ordering of letters and numbers? I may be old, but I am proud to say that we owned a Mini in the 70’s…

But back to Cream Teas… That Mini took us down the empty motorways of the 70’s to Devon, where we stayed in the palm-littered town of Torquay. There, we did what any self-respecting young women do and sought out beaches to bask… And we found the best ice creams, fish and chips and cream teas we could. Being at an age when eating vast quantities of sugar, carbs and fats made little dent on our weight, we indulged to our limits…

It was at Badgers Holt that we found the best, softest, tallest, jammiest, clotted creamiest Cream Tea ever. The weather was scorching and sitting on a grassy bank, we scoffed until we were bursting… Compelled to lie on the grass for a good couple of hours, before we could subject our stuffed bodies to further movement… The scone memory was made!

gluten-free-scones-jam-cream

What Makes a Scone Great?

But what made those scones so great? They were a perfect texture… Soft, but close of crumb and slightly dense… Tall in rise, with little crinkles and cracks around the edges, but still slightly warm… They were also mild in flavour, but with a hint of sweetness to complement the cream and jam which was generously delivered… Rich, decadent, smooth, creamy, slightly clumpy dollops of Clotted Cream spread in a thick layer across the top of each half, begging to be crowned with a spoonful of joyous, dark red, gooey strawberry jam… The Devon way.

So, there you have it. The perfect Devon Cream Tea… just needing to be recreated with a gluten free scone recipe.

The BEST Gluten Free Scone Recipe… Buttermilk Scones

Which brings us to the BEST gluten free scone recipe. Made with my rice free flour blend B which is still mild in flavour and appropriately pale, these scones are light and oh so soft to the touch (see recipe NOTES).  The addition of buttermilk and a little ground almond moistens the bake. It takes them to a level which is more than comparable with their glutenous cousins. And whereas gluten free scones will often be stale and hard within hours, these gluten free buttermilk scones are still soft two to three days after they come out of the oven.

Of course the best way to enjoy them is with my delicious home-made Strawberry Jam and some gorgeous Roddas Clotted Cream. Or if you prefer butter, why not make your own?

Gluten Free Buttermilk Scones or Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits?

For those of you across the pond, this is an interesting question. I have no idea why, when or how the English Scone morphed into the American Biscuit or why there was a necessity to change the name. But then, I also have no idea why your cookies are our biscuits either. Given the suggestion that the Scone originated in 16th Century Scotland however, I am going to stick my neck out and lay claim to culinary ancestry on this one.

Key equipment

  • Oven
  • baking trays
  • baking paper
  • Kitchen scales
  • measuring spoons
  • Mixing bowls
  • mixing spoon/spatula
  • flat-bladed knife
  • Rolling Pin
  • round cookie cutter
  • pastry brush
  • wire rack

Ingredients

  • 320 g plain gluten free flour blend GFA Rice Free Blend B see NOTES
  • 2 tsp xanthan gum
  • pinch fine sea salt
  • 50 g ground almonds
  • 1 tbsp GF baking powder
  • 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 90 g unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 30 g caster sugar
  • 1 large egg (UK Large) beaten
  • 284 ml buttermilk 1 pot UK
  • a beaten egg mixed with a little milk for glazing
Metric – US Customary

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F/Gas 6. Line a couple of baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
  • Weigh and mix together the flour, xanthan gum, salt, almonds, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda until well-blended (I weigh mine into an airtight container and shake vigorously).
  • In a large bowl, rub the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Add the sugar and stir through.
  • Make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg and buttermilk.
  • Using a flat-bladed knife, mix the wet ingredients into the dry, until it clumps together. Continue to mix until it comes together as a very sticky dough. If it looks like the dough is too dry, then add a little milk.
  • Lay a large piece of baking paper on the work surface and sprinkle liberally with gluten free flour/tapioca starch.
  • Flour your hands well and gently bring the dough together. It should be quite wet.
  • Tip the dough out onto the floured baking paper, sprinkle a little more flour on the top and lay a further piece of baking paper over.
  • Gently roll out the dough between the paper to a depth of about 4 cm.
  • Use a round/fluted cookie cutter (I used a large one 3 inches/7 cm) to cut rounds from the dough and carefully transfer to the lined baking sheets.
  • Bring any remaining dough gently together (trying not to over-work) and repeat the rolling and cutting process, until all the dough has been used and transferred to the baking sheets.
  • Beat an additional egg with a little milk and brush the top of each scone with the egg-wash to glaze.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until well-risen, firm and golden.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Eat warm or cold, with butter and/or jam and/or cream. Store the scones in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days if necessary. If it is very hot, store in the fridge after a day and 'refresh' in the microwave for a few seconds.

Notes

* Note: nutritional information is an estimate & may vary according to portion size/ingredient variants.
Gluten Free Alchemist Rice Free Flour Blend B can be found on the GFA Flours & Flour Blending Page. If using an alternative flour (particularly one which is rice-based), the texture may be drier and the mix may require a little more liquid.

    Hi, greetings from the US. I just came across this recipe. Perfect timing because I owe my daughter a “tea party” as a reward. I am gluten free & would love to try this. A couple of questions though on ingredients and availability. Are ground almonds same as almond flour? And what is caster sugar? Is that different than granulated sugar? Thank you

      Hi Natalie
      I hope you had a good Christmas.
      I love these Scones…. They are a favourite of mine.
      Re ground almonds… they are the same as ‘almond meal’ (which I think is slightly coarser than almond flour?) If you head over to the Flours Page and scroll down to the ‘nut flours’ section, there is a photo of the ground almonds, which should give you a sense of what they look like… Sort of very coarse sand…
      https://www.glutenfreealchemist.com/p-gluten-free-flours-and-flour-blends/

      Caster sugar is I think what you call ‘superfine’ sugar (NOT the powdered confectioners sugar that you use for icing, but finer than the coarse white sugar that people put in tea and coffee.) I think your granulated sugar may be a little finer than ours though… so may be okay.
      I found this article which may be helpful to you re sugar explanations and differences between UK and US.

    Dear Kate,
    I have been gluten free (due to intolerance) for over 20 years and, for most of them, have been trying to find a GF scone recipe to rival the real thing. I have always been left disappointed.
    …until NOW!!!!
    Made these scones this afternoon and they are absolutely delicious – like real scones and easy to make. My GF daughter completely agreed. We had a proper cream tea with Devonshire clotted cream and runny raspberry jam.
    Many many thanks – I will definitely be looking up some more of your recipes.
    Hooray!!

      Thank you so much Kate. I’m really pleased you and your daughter enjoyed them. They are as close as I’ve managed to come to the ‘real deal’ and they stay fresh for more than 5 minutes which is a bonus! If a recipe isn’t as good or better than its glutenous counterpart, I generally don’t share these days xx

    Yaaay! I've just made these and they are delicious! I have been meaning to since you published the recipe but holidays and then forgetfulness (repeatedly forgot to buy buttermilk!) got in the way. But today everything came together and I made lovely scones. The only thing I did differently was to cut the dough into squares with a knife because they stuck to the round cutter and I got in a right mess – but square scones are just as good as round ones it seems – and there was less re-rolling.

    Thanks for a great recipe Kate. I love the rice free flour blend. Can't wait to see what you try it out on next.

But I did visit torquay in the UK once and now wish I had know about those scones even if I could not have arrived in the great style that an orange mini brings 🙂

      Thank you Johanna. I don't recall my mother making many scones…. she was more of a cake baker. Thank goodness for holidays in Devon and Cornwall, or I may have been seriously deprived!

Who needs a perfect Carrot 🥕 Cake? Swipe to see Who needs a perfect Carrot 🥕 Cake? Swipe to see just how amazing it looks inside 😆. It’s super-moist gluten free deliciousness and would be brilliant for Mother’s Day or Easter. What do you reckon? Special enough for your Mum?
This recipe was literally developed originally for one of my followers who needed it for a special celebration. The feedback was super-good and I have to agree. It’s the best gluten free carrot cake I’ve ever had... and it’s certainly up there with the best of the gluten versions too. So if you love carrot cake... this one’s for you 😘.
You know me... If it’s not as good as I can possibly get, it doesn’t leave my kitchen xx
Grab the recipe from the blog 🥕💜🎁

Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed? I think Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed?
I think the answer may just be YES! Even when you’re gluten free 😆. And for all those who asked whether my Incredible Hot Cross Bun recipe could be made with Chocolate Chips instead of fruit? The evidence is undeniable. 
LOOK at these babies! Big... fat... glorious... chocolate chip Hot Cross Buns 😊😘😋👏😁
Yes or no???

Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚 They are tot Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚
They are totally yummy with monster yolks that are super-rich and creamy. Each egg is equivalent to 3 to 4 hens eggs. And they make the most incredible Goose Egg Scotch Eggs 😍
They have a really short season from about the end of February to June. And the geese have just started laying. 
We’re really lucky to get our eggs from a wonderful free-range supplier and they always let us know when goose eggs are available. You can use them for usual baking too... I totally recommend them for brownies.
I’ve put a recipe for making Goose Egg Scotch Eggs on the blog... If you see any eggs..: grab them while you can 😘

The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When wa The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When was the last time you had a perfect Hot Cross Bun? Easter all wrapped up in  a delicious fluffy, spiced, doughy ball, stuffed full of juicy fruit. Best buns ever! No one will ever know these babies are gluten free 😁
I am super proud of this recipe. I honestly didn’t think it was possible to create a gluten free bun with such an incredible texture... and I really didn’t think it was possible to create a Hot Cross Bun that would stay fresh enough to eat 48+ hours after baking... No toaster needed. 😊
But I’ve done it. I’ve pulled it out of the bag. Amazing 👏👏👏
Heads up... When I first started on developing this recipe, I truly wanted to make a simple one-bowl job. But that wasn’t possible. Texture and flavour were the absolute priority and this ultimately meant the recipe had to be carefully crafted  to make this happen. If you want the best, you sometimes have to work a little bit harder. 
But no word of a lie... these are SO worth the effort. 
Even better, I’ve worked out the dough can be frozen part way through the process... which means you can split the batch ready to bake up fresh with little effort later ☑️
Who wants the recipe? It’s now written up and on the blog... link in my profile (click lnk.bio)  #hotcrossbuns #easter #glutenfreehotcrossbuns #glutenfreerecipecreator #glutenfreeuk #glutenfreeeaster #glutenfreefoodporn #perfectbuns #singluten #glutenfrei #senzagluten #coeliacsafe #coeliacuk #feedfeed #feedfeedglutenfree #easterbuns #thebakefeed #huffposttaste #glutenfreealchemist #foodblogger #eeeeeats #bakersofinstagram #glutenfreebaking #foodblogfeed #bakersgonnabake #f52grams #instafood #glutenfreeeats #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks

Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flak Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flakes? I really like it. It makes a nice change from oats and is a great alternative for anyone who can’t eat oats too.
It’s got a nice earthy bite and pairs perfectly with fruit and nuts. I always sprinkle a few cacao nibs on my porridge too. It’s funny how we have ‘must haves’ to go with some foods. 
Have you got a favourite porridge topping?  #porridge #glutenfreeporridge #milletporridge #porridgebowl #porridgewithfruits #cookedtoperfection #porridgewithoutoats #glutenfreeuk #breakfastideas #cookblogshare #coeliacsafe #coeliacuk #porridgeporn #forkyeah #tastemademedoit #eeeeats #instafood #foodporn #foodphotography #healthyfood #healthybowl #porridgepassion #foodblogger

Beautiful but cold walk along the beach this eveni Beautiful but cold walk along the beach this evening. A swirling sea mist just before the sunset and then the most stunning hue.
