Blanched Almond Flour: Almond flour serves as the base for these gluten-free scones, imparting a delicate nutty flavor and a moist, tender texture.
Baking Soda: Baking soda helps the scones rise and achieve a light and fluffy texture.
Kosher Salt: Salt enhances the flavor of the scones and balances the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Extra Large Egg: The egg acts as a binding agent, helping to hold the scone dough together and providing structure.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract adds a warm and aromatic flavor to the scones, enhancing their overall taste.
Ground Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds a hint of warmth and spice to the scones, complementing the sweetness of the other ingredients.

Ingredients
Scones
- 2-2 ½ cups blanched almond flour

- 1.5 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup maple syrup

Directions
Scones
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon.
Add the egg, vanilla, maple syrup, and melted butter to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
If the dough is too wet, add more almond flour until it can be formed into a disk.
Cut the dough into 8 equal parts with a pastry cutter, then separate the slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the scones with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges have slightly browned and the center appears 'dry'
Whipped Butter
Using a hand mixer, whip together the Strawberry Rhubarb Jam and softened butter until smooth, light, and airy.
Transfer the whipped butter to a piping bag fitted with a large frosting tip and pipe onto a serving dish in a decorative pattern.

Products used in the Vanilla Almond Flour Scones
Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour for the scones?
While almond flour is essential for the gluten-free nature of these scones, you can experiment with other gluten-free flour alternatives such as coconut flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. However, keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary.
Can I make the scones ahead of time and freeze them?
Yes, you can prepare the scone dough ahead of time, shape them into rounds, and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container and store for up to 1 month. When ready to bake, simply place the frozen scones on a baking sheet and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Is there a substitute for butter in the whipped butter recipe?
If you prefer a dairy-free or vegan option, you can substitute the salted butter with a plant-based butter alternative. Look for a variety that is suitable for whipping to achieve the desired light and airy texture. Additionally, you can experiment with coconut oil or vegan margarine, keeping in mind that the flavour and texture may differ slightly.
