Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.

Step 4

Gently stir in the raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the flour mixture.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and milk.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring just until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured (gluten-free flour) surface and gently pat it into a round disk about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, like a pizza. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
