Recipe Introduction
Original recipe from Heidi at 101 Cookbooks
List of Ingredients
1/4 cup real, good quality maple syrup
6 tablespoons almond milk or other milk sub
2 1/4 cups GF flour blend
1/2 cup quinoa flakes (or rolled gf oats)
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
11 tablespoons cf margarine, cold, cut into cubes
1 egg, lightly beaten or 1 Stage 1 jar of baby food squash PLUS 1 tsp baking powder
large-grain sugar (for example: turbinado)Recipe
Preheat the oven to 400F degrees, rack in the top 1/3.
Line one baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the maple syrup and almond milk in a small cup, and set aside.
Combine the flour, quinoa/oats, baking powder, and salt
together in a bowl.
Using a food processor, cut the margarine into the
flour mixture, pulsing until it resembles little pebbles in a beach of sandy flour (about 20 quick pulses). You can also cut the margarine into the flour using a knife and fork, or smushing it through your thumb and fingertips.
Now add the maple syrup milk.
Pulse (or mix) until the dough just comes together - don't over mix.
If the batter is too dry add more almond milk a bit at a time.
Turn out onto a floured surface, kneed once or twice, just enough to bring the dough together.
Now arrange the dough into a 1-inch thick
rectangle.
Trim the edges and slice the dough into nine equal-sized
squares.
Arrange the scones next to one another on the prepared baking sheet - 1/4-inch distance between each of them.
Brush generously with the egg wash and sprinkle with the large-grain sugar.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden along the bottom and tops.
