Calories: 245kcal
Ingredients
- 7 ½ ounces gluten free baking flour
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (use only if not already included in the flour)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 stick cold butter, cut into small pieces (4 oz)
- ¼ cup smoked meat (1 ½-2 ounces. Such as cooked bacon, cooked turkey bacon, pastrami, ham etc.,)
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese (2 ½-3 ounces)
- 2 large eggs
- â…“ cup cold milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper
-  Whisk together the flour, xantahn gum (if using), baking powder and salt. Work in the cold butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter, until the mixture is crumbly, like rough sand. Stir in the meat and cheese
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is frothy. Add this to the dry ingredients, stirring until it’s well blended. The dough should be cohesive and very sticky
- Drop dough by the 1/3-cupfulls onto the baking sheet
- Chill the scones in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before baking, to re-chill the butter and make the scones flakier
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes or so before serving
- Serve with butter or your favorite chutney

Yield: 8-9 scones.
