Gluten Free Pecan Scones with Maple Glaze
Servings: 8 scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300 grams) gluten free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon guar or xanthan gum omit if in blend
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 Tbs butter room temperature
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
Glaze
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 - 2 Tbs heavy cream
- 1 Tbs butter room temperature
- 2-3 Tbs chopped pecan optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with a silicon baking sheet or parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine gluten free flour, guar gum, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a fork or pastry blender, add butter to the flour mixture until it forms small crumbles. Add heavy cream, vanilla and pecans and combine until the mixture forms into a lump, using your hands if necessary.
- Remove dough from bowl and shape into an 8 in. round circle, approx. 1 ½ inches tall. Cut the circle in half, and keep cutting until you have 8 even triangles. Transfer each piece to a baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Once the scones have cooled slightly, mix the powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, butter in a small bowl until smooth. Add 1 Tbs of heavy cream at a time to ensure your glaze will not be too thin. Drizzle over scones, top with pecans if desired and serve.
