What is a gluten free scone?

When we think of scones, we thing British tea time. Authentic British scones are typically served with tea as a snack. The scones are relatively plain and are served with clotted cream and jam.

In North America, scones are often served with morning coffee, and they can be sweet or savory scones.

The sweet scones often include berries, nuts, oats or raisins. Sometimes they are topped with a glaze, such as this popular gluten free maple oat nut scone.

Steps for Making Perfect Bacon and Cheese Scones

• Cook the Bacon and Green Onions:
  Briefly cook the bacon with the green onions. This ensures the bacon is fully cooked and crispy, while infusing the green onions with bacon flavor.
• Combine Ingredients:
  Once the bacon is cooked, mix the dry ingredients and cheese with the bacon mixture.
• Add Milk and Mix Gently:
  This step is crucial! Add the milk and mix until the dough just begins to come together. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense scones.
• Roll Out the Dough:
  Roll the bacon and cheese scone mixture to about 1 ½ inches thick. Cut into your desired shapes.
• Preheat the Oven:
  Ensure your oven is hot before baking. This is critical for achieving the best results.
• Bake at High Heat:
  Baking at a high temperature allows the scones to cook quickly without drying them out, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
