Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• 1 third cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, cold and diced
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 cup Whole Milk
• 1 cup Gluten-Free Chocolate Chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the flour-butter mixture, stirring just until combined and a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 7-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your gluten-free chocolate chip scones!
