Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the blackberries and lemon juice.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a 3/4-inch thick circle or rectangle.
  8. Cut the dough into 8 wedges or use a round cutter for individual scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops lightly with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  10. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  11. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the dough.
  • For extra lemon flavor, you can drizzle a simple glaze (powdered sugar mixed with a little lemon juice) over the cooled scones.
  • Gluten-free flours vary; if your dough seems too dry, add one more tablespoon of cream.
