Gluten Free: Potato Scones
These potato scones are a wonderful treat that can be enjoyed any time of the day. Whether paired with a cup of tea or served as a side for your favorite soup, they are sure to please.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (cooked and cooled)
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 egg, beaten
- Chopped chives or herbs (optional, for flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Add the softened butter, milk, and beaten egg to the potato mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. If you’re adding herbs or chives, fold them in at this stage.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour), and gently knead it for a few moments until it comes together.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out scone shapes using a round cutter or a glass, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the top.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
These gluten-free potato scones are not only fluffy and light but also versatile enough to be served with various toppings. You can experiment with flavors by adding different herbs or spices according to your preferences. They are perfect for a cozy brunch or as an easy-to-make snack throughout the week!
