"My mother-in-law loved my scones, but she doesn't take well to gluten or sugar, so after a few experiments I had gluten-free, diabetic-friendly deliciousness!"

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 cups brown rice flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/3 cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more to taste
1 cup diced candied ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together the egg, milk, agave nectar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ginger in a separate bowl; stir into the flour mixture until moistened.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, for five or six turns. Pat or roll the dough out into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Cut into 8 wedge-shaped pieces and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
