Allergy-free Scones

My daughter's gracious teacher planned to share some buttered scones with the kids today and sent a message out to all the parents inquiring about food allergies.  Well, with allergies to wheat, dairy, and eggs, traditional scones are just not an option for my daughter.  So, I offered to bring in a batch of allergy-free scones.  



Once again, it was Cybele Pascal to the rescue! In her fabulous cookbook, The Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook , there are several scone recipes, and I chose to make the 'Basic Scones.' The recipe was simple: combine the liquid ingredients, sift together the dry ingredients, and combine the two.:


Then, form the dough into six-inch disks, cut into 6 triangles, and bake:




My daughter ate one right out of the oven, with a little vegan butter, and loved it!:


 Recipe:

Allergy-free Basic Scones
(makes 12 scones)

Ingredients:

1 (6oz) container vanilla vegan yogurt
3/4 c dairy-free milk (I like coconut)
1 T lemon juice
3 c gluten-free flour mix (6:2:1 superfine brown-rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour)
3/4 t xanthan gum
1/3 c sugar
2 T baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/3 c canola oil

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  4. Add the liquid mixture and canola oil to the dry mixture. Stir until combined but still clumpy.
  5. Lightly flour a work surface with GF flour mix, and turn out the dough.  Lightly flour your hands and the dough.
  6. Divide the dough in half, and pat into two 6-inch disks. Cut the disks into 6 equal triangles and place on  the baking sheet.
  7. Bake in the center of the oven for 15-17 minutes or until lightly golden.
  8. Enjoy with vegan butter and jam.

  5. I have tried literally dozens of scone recipes that are allergy free. This is by far the best, i have made chocolate and fruit variations of this recipe. The only time this didnt work out was when i used plain yogurt and didnt add any vanilla. So make sure to use vanilla yogurt or add a little vanilla in.
