Print Recipe
These gluten free scones are slightly different from normal we do have other scone recipes on here too, it is a very soft mix that makes incredible scones, they are even better served with jam and cream! Don't expect to be able to make these like normal scones though, the mixture is a lot thinner and definitely not handleable.

Method

  1. Rub the dairy free spread into the flour until you get a crumb consistency.

  2. Stir in the the caster sugar. Beat together the milk, vanilla extract and the egg and then stir into the flour mix.

  3. Grease a baking tray and drop spoonfuls of the mix onto the tray, should make 8 or 9, brush with beaten egg and then bake in oven for 12-15 minutes on gas mark 7/220c until cooked.
