Gfcf Cherry Chocolate Scones Gluten Free Food

GF/CF CHERRY CHOCOLATE SCONES (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl combine flours, starches, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, sugar. Whisk until combined, then sift into another bowl. Add soy margarine and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resemble coarse meal. 2. In a small bowl whisk milk, vinegar, vanilla and egg to blend. Add to flour mixture along with dried cherries and chopped chocolate. Stir with a fork just until evenly moistened. Don't over-mix. 3. Scrape dough onto a (GF) floured surface - dough will be sticky. With lightly floured hands, work it into a 7-inch square. Cut dough into four equal squares, then cut each of those squares in half diagonally to get 8 triangles. (These make big scones. If you want smaller scones, cut each of the eight triangles in half to make 16 triangles.) Arrange triangles 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 4. Bake scones until tops are just starting to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool about 10 minutes on baking sheet. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar, coconut milk and almond extract. Drizzle over warm scones. * If you can't have soy products, use organic vegetable shortening instead of the Earth Balance sticks. ** use any non-dairy milk (unflavored and unsweetened) if you don't want to use coconut milk

GLUTEN-FREE SCONES

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt, xanthan gum, baking powder and sugar together in a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until you have fine breadcrumbs. You can also do this by gradually pulsing the mixture in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Whisk together the milk and whole egg and gradually mix into the flour mixture with your hands until you have a smooth dough. Mix in the sultanas, if using. Knead briefly to come together into a ball.
• Gently roll out the scone dough until 2cm thick. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment and chill for 30 mins to firm up the dough - this makes them easier to cut out.
• Remove the dough from the fridge and, using a 5cm cutter, cut out 6-8 scones (press the offcuts together and re-roll when you need to). Put the scones upside down (this will mean you get a neater top when baked) onto another baking tray lined with baking parchment, spread 2cm apart.
• Whisk the egg yolk and evenly brush the tops of the scones, making sure that the egg wash doesn't run down the sides of the scones otherwise they will rise unevenly. Put the scones on a tray and transfer to the freezer for 15 mins. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Remove the scones from the freezer and brush the tops with the beaten egg again, then bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown. Eat just warm or cold, generously topped with jam and cream, if you like.

• Divide dough in half. On surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix, pat each half into a 6-inch round. Cut each round into 6 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
• Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove parchment paper with scones to cooling rack. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle half the icing over warm scones. Sprinkle with almonds.

• Transfer dough to a cool, floured surface and knead it four to five times. Pat the dough into a circle approximately 7 inches round and 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut the dough into eighths.
• Make an egg wash by combining one well-beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush wash over the tops of the scones.
• Make cinnamon sugar by combining granulated white sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the scones.
