Apple Cinnamon Pecan Gluten Free Scones

My latest experiment with the gluten free scone mix resulted in a sweet scone that uses familiar ingredients most people will have on hand and are easily available. I added a chopped apple and a teaspoon of cinnamon along with a few pecans to the basic mix and had a delicious new scone to serve my family.  I love this new mix because I can pretty much add any ingredients that traditionally go well together and get a tasty result. Experiment with savory and sweet combinations to make your own version or use my combinations and enjoy scones any time, they are so easy!!

Recipe:

1 package gluten free scone mix

1 medium apple peeled, cored and chopped

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Prepare scone mix as directed and add the rest of the ingredients. You may need to add a little more milk to make the batter workable.

Glaze:

Mix 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Slowly add a tablespoon of water to make a smooth mixture. Drizzle over cooled scones.

Gluten Free Cheddar & Chive Scones

I have been trying out new recipes for scones this week using the new gluten free scone mix and have been so excited with the results.  I had to cut my chive plant down the other day because we were going to get a really cold night with frost so I have a bunch of chives to use in cooking and baking this week. No problem, I sprinkled them over eggs, froze a bunch in Ziploc bags, and used some to make these really delicious scones. I love scones because they are perfect any time of the day and go down easy with a cup of your favorite hot beverage.

Recipe:
1 package Gluten Free Scone Mix
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Prepare scone mix according to the package mix adding 2 extra tablespoons of milk, the chives and cheddar.
Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake according to the package directions until golden brown.

Maple Bacon & Apricot Gluten Free Scones

A few years ago I found a recipe in the magazine Real Simple for a quick appetizer that was simple, different and delicious. A dried apricot and a piece of fresh sage were wrapped in half of a piece of turkey bacon and baked until the bacon was crisp.Then when they are hot, brushed with maple syrup just before serving. A lot of flavors that surprisingly go great together.  When I was thinking of making scones the other  day I wanted something savory so I took the same ingredients and added them to the package of gluten free scone mix. I was pleasantly surprised, the results were exactly what I was looking for. The sage tastes like Fall and the dried apricots and maple syrup add just enough sweetness to balance the smokey bacon. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a snack. In each bite you get lots of different flavors that make for a tasty treat!

Recipe:

1 Package Gluten Free Scone Mix

1/2 Cup diced dried apricots

4 Slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 Tablespoons fresh sage, minced 

2 Tablespoons maple syrup

Prepare scones according to package directions, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix until combined.  Dump batter out onto a counter and form into a circle 1" thick. Use a 2" biscuit cutter to form about 9 scones.  Reshaping dough as you need.

Brush with egg wash if desired (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk).

Bake according to package directions.
