scones — Housewife's Whimsy

These were an adventure into the unknown. I’ve never actually made scones before, either with regular flour or gluten free. We also had some friends coming over who avoid dairy so this was the perfect recipe to try!You can make a few substitutions to this recipe in order for it to be Paleo. I simply didn’t have everything on hand to make it that way. You will need to replace the baking powder with a Paleo baking powder, (1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda, 1 Teaspoon Cream of Tartar, ¼ Teaspoon Arrowroot Starch) the shortening with a non-hydrogenated shortening and the sugar with coconut palm sugar. The way I have it written below is simply gluten and dairy free.Everyone thoroughly enjoyed these scones. They are light, flaky and full of great flavor. I’ve used Enjoy Life Chocolate chips in this recipe in order to keep it free of allergens. If you’re not avoiding dairy you can feel free to use any type of mini chocolate chips you like. These are great for a breakfast treat, afternoon tea or simply entertaining guests.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:134]Source: Adapted from Gluten Free on a Shoestring – Nicole Hunn
