Ingredients

 

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled), plus more for hands and work surface

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 and 1/2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder

1 teaspoon gluten-free ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, frozen

1/2 cup heavy cream (plus 2 tablespoons for brushing)

1 large egg

1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 and 1/2 cups fresh

for topping: coarse sugar and vanilla icing

Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter using a box grater. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter, 2 forks, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. Place in the refrigerator or freezer as you mix the wet ingredients together.
  2. Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the blueberries, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
  3. Pour onto the counter and, with floured hands, work the dough into a ball. Dough will be sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, add 1–2 more tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife and cut into 8 wedges.
  4. Brush scones with remaining heavy cream and, for extra crunch, sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  5. Place scones on a plate or lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  7. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. After refrigerating, arrange scones 2–3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 22–25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before topping with vanilla icing.
