Gluten Free Strawberry Scones (+Healthy!)
Note: This is what I used, the mix turned out really sticky, so maybe less milk or more flour...
Ingredients
2 gluten free plain flour plus extra for dusting
1/3 cup raw sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
1/2 cup light cream cheese (at room temp)
1/4 cup light milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
2/3 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. Sift flour and baking powder together in a large bowl. Add sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, cream cheese, milk and vanilla extract until there is no lumps.
4. Pour into the flour mix and stir.
5. Add strawberries and stir it through.
6. Here's the fun part, since mine was too sticky, I skipped all the shaping part and just slapped a blob of scone sized dough onto the baking paper.
7. Bake on the middle rack for about 20mins or until golden.
8. Cool on wire racks, then remove from the paper.
Would probably taste better with buttermilk and butter instead of low fat stuff.... but oh well...
Best eaten fresh! and warm!
(Unhealthy part) Maple Syrup butter!!
Ingredients:
50 grams Unsalted butter (at room temp)
1 Tbs Maple Syrup (or to taste)
Method:
Mix together with a fork until well combined, and serve with scones!
Will probably work well for any other scones,... buttermilk scones... mmmm....
