The BEST Gluten Free Scones You Will Ever Taste

Now, I realize the title is a pretty tall order, OR it could just be an opinion!  I happen to believe this recipe for gluten free scones is simply the best one you will find out there.  I found it online and yes, I tweaked it to make it even better!  I've made these countless times and have been meaning to post the recipe to share it with you all so you can make these immediately.  While this recipe is gluten free and potentially dairy free if you use almond milk {which I do} and dairy free butter {which I don't} I have also toyed with the idea of making it paleo friendly too, so keep your eyes open for a follow up post!

I'll make this short and sweet so I can go back to eating these delicious scones, here is my fabulous recipe!

Gluten Free Scones:

-1 3/4 cups Gluten Free Baking Mix {I swear by Aldi and all things thrifty, so I use the "liveGfree" mix by Aldi.  Make sure it is a baking mix so it already includes xanthan gum and other ingredients.  If it is just gluten free flour, these won't turn out right!}
-1/3 cups white sugar
-2 teaspoons baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1/2 cup (1 stick) butter {usually scones call for cold butter, but I melt mine in the microwave for 45 seconds.  Most of it will be melted with a little bit of the stick left.}
-2 large eggs
-1/3 cup cold almond milk, unsweetened
-1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract {I don't usually measure this and just shake the bottle into the mix...the more vanilla the better!}
-3/4 cups {I just throw a handful, or two or three in there} of chocolate chips/blueberries/almond pieces/whatever you would like {my go to is chocolate chip scones though, delish!  I've also made plain scones and they taste amazing with butter and honey!}

Now you're ready to mix it all together!  Once the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, make sure you have a couple of baking trays ready.  To prepare the baking trays lightly spray with olive oil.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cook for 15-20 minutes.  Drop a spoonful of the batter in rows onto the baking trays.  This recipe will yield anywhere from 12-18 scones depending on size.  If you want/need more, just double the recipe!  I just made 12 medium/large size scones.  Enjoy with a glass of almond milk, some tea, or have them plain!
