โญ Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (Best Gluten-Free Option)
1 cup gluten-free flour blend per 1 cup all-purpose flourGluten-free flour blends typically combine rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch to mimic the properties of wheat flour. Without gluten, the structure relies on gums or binders to hold the dough together.
Use a 1:1 ratio with added xanthan gum if not included in the blend. Chill dough well and handle gently to prevent crumbling.
Scones will be tender but may lack the elasticity and rise of gluten-containing versions, resulting in a more delicate, crumbly texture.
