Gluten free date scones...
If you can get past the odd after-taste of gluten free flour then I recommend trying these date scones. They may not look pretty but they are pretty similar to regular date scones.
Basic recipe (all approximates)
2 cups gluten free baking mix
1 heaped teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup chopped dates
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup- 3/4 cup cold water
Sift baking mix, soda and sugar. Rub in butter, add dates then slowly mix in water to form a soft dough. Divide into balls or roll out and cut into squares. Bake at 200C for 10-15 minutes or until browned. Serve with your favourite topping.
what gluten free baking mix are you using, I have needed to bake gf for many years now-shouldn't be a bad aftertaste, unless you are using a bean flour base-those I don't care for either.
ReplyDeleteone of the best I have found is to use Bobs Red Mills gluten free pizza mix as flour-cup for cup-nice
I always use healtheries baking mix, which is a good substitute for wheat flour. :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is also dairyfree and so I use margarine instead of butter and soy milk or coconut cream instead of milk. The coconut cream is the best for baking substitution - but probably not good if you're watching your weight - haha!
Must try out your recipe on the fam.
Have a neat day!
I was just saying to my husband the other day that I felt like scones! I am GF and have been craving them. Thank you!!!

thanks Leonie - I might have to try that one. I don't have to go gluten free but I do want to cut down. I've heard alot of people feel heaps better after swapping ordinary flour for GF so I thought it was worth a try
