Most gluten free scones are a let-down
If you've been diagnosed coeliac or gone gluten free, you already know the disappointment.
Dense and dry
Supermarket GF scones come out heavy, crumbly and dry. Nothing like the real thing.
That GF aftertaste
Gritty, sawdust-like flavours that remind you of everything you're missing.
Fiddly recipes
Hunting down five different flours and gums, then crossing your fingers it works.
40 years perfecting scones that taste real
Rick Grant has been making gluten free food since 1984, long before it was a trend, after his wife was diagnosed coeliac.
This isn't a generic mix with a GF sticker. It's a purpose-built blend, balanced so your scones rise light and fluffy with none of the grit. Even the non-coeliacs in the family love them. Just read the reviews below.
Rick's scone method
Gluten free baking behaves a little differently to wheat. Follow Rick's method and tips for perfect results every time.
Light and fluffy gluten free scones
- 1 pack Rick's GF Scone Mix
- 85g cold butter, grated (or dairy free margarine)
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup rice milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 1 beaten egg yolk for the tops (optional)
- Heat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) and line a tray. A properly hot oven is the secret to a good rise.
- Tip the mix into a large bowl. Rub the cold grated butter through with your fingertips until it looks like fine crumbs.
- Whisk the egg, rice milk and vinegar together. Pour into the bowl and bring together into a soft, slightly sticky dough. Don't overwork it.
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat to about 3cm thick. Cut rounds, pressing the cutter straight down.
- Sit the scones just touching on the tray. Brush the tops with the beaten egg yolk if using, then bake 12 to 15 minutes until risen and golden.
- Cool slightly, split, and pile on the jam and cream. Best enjoyed warm the same day.
- GF dough is softer and stickier than wheat. That's normal. Don't add lots of extra flour or they'll dry out.
- Press the cutter straight down, with no twisting, so they rise tall and even.
- Bake as soon as it's mixed, while the raising agents are active.
- The vinegar works with the raising agents for extra lift. You won't taste it.
