Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free 1:1 flour (285g)
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if your flour already contains it
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter cold
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice I used unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon cream or full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon Raw organic cane sugar
For the glaze:
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), and salt.
  3. Grate the butter using a cheese grater and add it in. Use your hands to blend the butter in to the flour mixture until it looks like coarse sand. A pastry cutter works, too.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla.
  5. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix. Stir in the blueberries and stir until well mixed.
  6. Pour the dough onto the pan and shape into a circle about 8 inches wide in diameter (it will be sticky). Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 8 portions.
  7. Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with the cane sugar.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  9. Once chilled, bake until the edges are deep golden brown and the tops are lightly browned, about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on your oven.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.
  11. Once cooled, whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the scones.
