How do you make gluten-free scones?

These lemon blueberry scones can be made gluten-free with one simple swap of flour. For these to be gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour such as Better Batter.

If you do not have Better Batter, you can also use your favorite 1:1 flour, I prefer Better Batter and have used it for years, so that’s my go-to for this recipe.

Other flours that work well for this are King Arthur, Cup4Cup, and Bob’s Red Mill.

The Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour will have Xanthan Gum in it so no additional will be needed.

Tips for Making Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry Scones:

These are best made hand-mixed and using a pastry blender or pastry cutter works well too. This would be similar to what you would use if you were making biscuit dough.

It’s important to carefully cut the butter into the batter, it will need to be nice and crumbly, then you will add in the wet ingredients bringing together both the wet and dry ingredients into a ball of dough.

The butter should be very cold, not softened. This recipe also uses buttermilk, you can check out these easy ways to make buttermilk with what you have as well.

Use the juice from a lemon and then use a zester to zest the outside of the lemon to add to your batter too.

Remember that this batter is going to be thick, so you need to be sure to mix it well, I often find it’s easier to use my hands to mix than a spoon, but a good Danish dough whisk works well too.

After you have the batter shaped, it’s best to cut it with a pizza cutter into 8 slices. The sliced scones will chill for a bit in the fridge and then it’s time to bake. If you do not have a pizza cutter, use a very sharp knife.

Once they are baked you can drizzle them with some icing and it’s even great to add a little fresh lemon juice to it too!

These scones are best served either warm or at room temperature. We like to pair them with delicious Iced Coffee and serve them.
