Cheesy Gluten Free Scones

This recipe is a great snack but very indulgent it should make 10-12 scones. We had ours with some cured meat and pickles and Lara put cream cheese and mango chutney on hers.

Ingredients:

350g of Gluten Free Self raising flour

2tsp of gluten free baking powder

0.5tsp of xanthan gum

0.5tsp of salt

100g of chilled butter ( grated)

150g of grated cheese of your choice (an extra 50g for the topping)

60ml of semi skinned milk

50ml of double cream

2 large eggs

1tsp of smoked paprika

Method:

Pre heat the oven to 200c fan and prepare a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

In a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt and paprika and mix together. Add the grated chilled butter into the mix and rub together to produce a breadcrumb like mixture.

Once mix is like breadcrumbs add the cheese and gently stir through.

In a jug add the eggs, milk and cream and mix together. Then slowly add the egg mixture into the flour mix, until combined, if it is too wet add a bit more flour.

On a dusted surface, roll out the dough, until 3cm thick, using a 6-8cm cutter cut out the dough and this should make 10-12 cheese scones.

Place the scones on the greaseproof paper and brush the milk on top before adding the remainder cheese.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the scones are golden.
