Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 12 scones

Ingredients

1 (6-ounce) container vanilla vegan yogurt
3/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest
3 cups Basic Gluten-Free Flour Mix (page 19)
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons rice milk
Sanding sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 2

    Whisk together the yogurt, orange juice, and orange zest. Set aside.

    Step 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour mix, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    Step 4

    Add the orange juice mixture and the canola oil, and stir with a wooden spoon until combined but still clumpy.

    Step 5

    Flour a work surface lightly with a little gluten-free flour mix, and turn out the dough. Lightly flour your hands. Sprinkle the dough with a little flour mix.

    Step 6

    Divide the dough in half. Pat into two 6-inch disks. Cut the disks into 6 pie-shaped wedges. Place the scones on the baking sheet. Brush with the rice milk, then sprinkle liberally with sanding sugar.

    Step 7

    Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden and the sugar is sparkling. Transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm.
