Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, cold
• 2 Large eggs
• 1/2 cup Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free flour (for dusting)
• 1 Egg, beaten (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the large eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Stir with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix. The dough should be somewhat sticky.

Step 6

Gently fold in the raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Lightly dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.

Step 8

Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a knife or a bench scraper to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish when baked.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
