How to make gluten free scones soft and spongy…

When making  gluten and dairy free scones you might be concerned of how the texture will be. Learning to make gluten free is always a challenge, but then when you also remove the dairy, a disaster can happen easily. There are a few things that can help you succeed with how to make gluten free scones soft and spongy, but still have a crumb to them at the same time.

1. 1. Your Gluten Free All Purpose Flour matters. They are not all created equal and you can have different outcomes. I only use my My personal Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend when baking because it never lets me down. It is simple to make and very inexpensive. You can grab the recipe HERE. My favorite premade flour is Better Batter Flour. I use it exclusively! The original would work great for this recipe.

   2. Eggs. They help create a rise and give it the proper texture. If you are vegan you can use egg replacer, but your scone will likely come out a bit dryer and have more crumbs.
   3. Xanthan Gum I get a lot of questions about Xanthan Gum  and if you are new to gluten free baking you are probably scratching your head with this ingredient. Xanthan Gum is a binding agent that keeps your baked items from completely failing apart. Gluten is also a binding agent, and since we are baking gluten free we need to provide the flour with a new binding agent.
   4. Vegan Butter. This gives the gluten and dairy free scones the flaky and tasty finish.
   5.  

That is how to make gluten free scones soft and spongy!

How do I make these Gluten Free Cheese and Chive Scones?

1. You will start by blending the Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and Xanthan Gum in a bowl. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Once the dry ingredients are blended you will add the vegan butter, Go Veggie shreds, chives, eggs, and coconut milk. Mix it all up until it forms a ball.
3. Drop the ball of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten it out to be 1 inch thick and clean the sides up with a spatula dipped in water. You will then cut it into 8 slices. You will want to dip a sharp knife in water and use it to cut your scones. Spread the scones out to be about 2 inches apart.
4. Bake for about 20 minutes. You can garnish the gluten and dairy free scones with more cheese and chives if desired.
