GF cheese scones

Here’s a simple Gluten-Free Cheese Scones recipe for you:

🧀 Gluten-Free Cheese Scones

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (250g) gluten-free self-raising flour (or plain GF flour + 2 tsp baking powder)

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp mustard powder (optional, enhances cheese flavor)

• 1 tsp baking powder (extra lift)

• 4 tbsp (60g) cold butter, cubed

• 1 cup (100g) grated sharp cheddar (or mix of cheeses)

• 1 egg

• ½ cup (120ml) milk (plus extra for brushing)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, mustard powder, and baking powder.

3. Rub in butter: Add butter cubes and rub with fingertips until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

4. Add cheese: Stir in the grated cheese, reserving a little for sprinkling on top.

5. Make dough: Beat egg and milk together. Pour into the flour mixture and gently mix until a soft dough forms. (If too sticky, dust with a little extra flour.)

6. Shape: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat to about 1-inch (2.5cm) thick. Cut into rounds with a cutter or shape into rustic triangles.

7. Bake: Place on tray, brush tops with milk, sprinkle with extra cheese. Bake 15–18 minutes until golden and risen.

8. Cool slightly & serve warm with butter or alongside soup.

✨ Tips:

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika, chives, or black pepper to the dough.

• Best eaten fresh but can be frozen—reheat in oven to refresh.
