February 5, 2024

Introduction

In this recipe, we will learn how to make Nonna's Gluten-free Blueberry Almond Scones. These scrumptious treats are perfect for tea time or any occasion when you need a delicious, gluten-free treat.

Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the almond milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
7. Pat the dough into a circle that's about 1-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges.
8. Transfer the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each scone.
9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy these warm, buttery scones with your favorite tea or coffee. They are a delightful treat that everyone will love!
