Recipe
For the scones:
2 scant cups (250g) gluten free flour blend
1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon (6.5g) baking powder
1/2 cup (113g) butter, frozen and cut into cubes
1 tablespoon poppyseeds
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest
1/2 cup+1 tablespoon (135ml) heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Heavy cream for brushing
Sugar for sprinkling
For the glaze:
1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine gluten free flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk to incorporate.
3. Add cubed pieces of butter and cut in using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (add poppyseeds and lemon zest part of the way though).
4. Drizzle in heavy cream and vanilla extract and work the dough until it starts to come together.
5. Transfer dough to a piece of parchment paperand knead it together gently. Shape it into a rectangle.
6. Freeze the dough for 20 minutes.
7. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles and then cut each rectangle into 2 triangles to make mini scones. The dough is super fragile-if some of the pieces flake apart, don’t worry! Just work them gently back together into desired shape.
8. Arrange them on a baking sheet and brush each scone with heavy cream. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
9. Freeze again for 15 minutes. This will help them keep their shape while baking.
10. Bake at 375° until edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
11. Allow scones to cool for 10 minutes on pan then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
12. To make the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
13. Drizzle glaze over the scones and allow to set for 15 minutes.
