Welcome to 'simple but yummy' GF cooking! Cheese Scones!

Gluten Free Cheese Scones

Gluten Free Cheese Scones

This is one of my favourite recipes, and as easy as pie (or scones!)! The scones don’t keep very well, they need to be consumed on the day of making (no problem!), or frozen and thawed out as and when required. (They are especially good warm from the oven! Yum!)(These scones do take slightly longer to cook than ones made with gluten flour.)

For a Dairy Free version substitute cheese for a Dairy Free variety! 

Ingredients 

8ozs/225g Gluten Free SR flour

1 level teaspoon xanthan gum

Half teaspoon sugar

Pinch salt (leave out if using a salty cheese)

Ground pepper

1 beaten egg

Cold water to mix

Cut into 16 chunks
