10 Popular Gluten-Free Scone Recipes
Gluten-free scones, whether sweet or savory, are a beloved treat perfect for any time of day. Traditionally from England, they’re often served with cream tea, accompanied by clotted cream and marmalade. In North America, gluten-free scones are a popular breakfast or brunch choice, often enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee. Simple yet versatile, they’re delicious whether you’re having them with afternoon tea or as a morning snack..
One of the best things about gluten-free scone recipes is how simple they are to make. With just a few basic ingredients—like butter, sugar, gluten-free flour, baking powder, eggs, and milk—you can whip up a batch with minimal effort.
But the real magic happens when you start adding your own twist. By incorporating sweet or savory ingredients, a basic gluten-free scone transforms into a flavourful snack that suits any occasion.
For sweet scones, popular add-ins include berries, raisins, nuts, and oats. A light glaze on top can make them even more tempting.
If you’re in the mood for something savoury, try mixing in ingredients like cheese, bacon, chives, onions, herbs, ham, or sundried tomatoes. The possibilities are endless, making gluten-free scones a fun and flexible recipe to experiment with.
