Easy/Quick Gluten-Free Scones

Other Stuff

This recipe I’ve devised bakes evenly if formed into balls you place on a cookie sheet.  There’s no sweetener added other than fruit, which gets sweeter when baked, but I use these scones instead of plain rolls too.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Mix:

  • 4 CUPS GLUTEN-FREE FLOUR.  I tend to use millet and/or rice…though rice is a bit sandy.
  • 1 TABLESPOON BAKING SODA.
  • 1 24-OUNCE JAR APPLESAUCE.  Personally I prefer the kind that comes with cinnamon mixed in.  Instead of applesauce I sometimes blend 3 bananas and sometimes add nuts.  Bottom line is it should be about 3 cups that are the consistency of applesauce.
  • 1/3 CUP OIL.  I tend to use olive oil in everything, but any oil should do.

If you’re not using nonstick, drop a little oil in six spots on each of two cookie sheets (three rows of two).  Grabbing a handful of the mix at a time, cup your hands to form 12 big balls you place on the sheets.  Bake until totally firm when the tops are tapped.
