Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (diced and really cold; dairy-free use Smart Balance butter)
  • 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp dried lemon peel (lemon zest)
  • ¾ cup buttermilk (or dairy-free milk mixture)
  • 2 large eggs (whisked)

  • 2 tbsp milk (dairy-free use almond, cashew, or coconut milk, to brush the scones)
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Freeze diced butter for 10 minutes. If you need buttermilk, mix milk with vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit.
  3. In a bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if needed), sugar, baking powder, salt, and dried lemon peel.
  4. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles small peas.
  5. Add buttermilk and eggs; stir gently until just combined. Fold in blueberries carefully.
  6. Shape the dough into a round about 7 inches in diameter and cut into eight triangles.
  7. Brush tops with milk and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Mix glaze ingredients together and drizzle over warm scones before serving.
