Indulge in these gluten-free currant scones for Sunday brunch or anytime snack. The recipe comes together fast and easy, making it perfect for everyday baking. I used currants in this recipe, but you can use raisins or dried fruit of your choice. The best way to serve gluten-free scones is when they are slightly warm. Enjoy!
