Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for glaze, optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for glaze, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat well to combine.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. The dough should be moist but not sticky.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds to bring it together.

Step 7

Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick and cut it into 8 wedges.

Step 8

Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Step 11

For the optional glaze, mix powdered sugar, milk, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until the glaze is smooth and runny.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones before serving.
