Blueberry
Scones (printable)
Ingredients
2/3 cup rice flour
1/3 cup Rumford Corn Starch
1/3 cup tapioca starch
1 tablespoon guar gum or xanthan gum
2 teaspoons Rumford Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Rumford Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup half-n-half
1 egg, beaten
1 cup blueberries
additional sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with
parchment or a silpat for easier cleanup. Sift together
the rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca starch, guar or xanthan
gum, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir
in the sugar and make a well in the center. Whisk together
the melted butter, half-n-half and the egg. Pour into
the dry mixture and add the blueberries. Mix gently with
a wooden spoon to combine. Mixture may be quite sticky
- let sit for a few minutes to solidify somewhat.
Drop the batter into 12 even portions
on the prepared baking sheet. (An ice cream scoop helps
make even portions). Sprinkle the tops with additional
sugar for a shiny appearance. Bake for about 18 to 20
minutes, until the scones are well browned and spring
back when pressed gently with your finger. Serve right
away or toast to reheat for best taste.
