Oh hi my lovely friends!
It’s been a few years since the last blog post, life happens you know.. got married, moved to a new house, been focused on settling into the life changes and of course my real job. All good things but I am ready to jump back into the blog and provide great recipes for you all!
Today we are going to make gluten free scones with currants! These are the perfect weekend baking treat and you will never know that the real flour is missing! Plus in place of sugar this uses honey and maple syrup.
My husband doesn’t like very many sweets, but he LOVES scones. I started working on perfecting this recipe earlier this year when we were doing keto. No.. we didn’t count carbs, we were just more aware of what we were eating and tried to cut out carbs out of meals where we could.
Now, let’s get to baking! Combine all your dry ingredients and then wet in a deep bowl. When well combined, shape dough into square or rectangle about a half inch in height.
I didn’t do a very good job cutting these in perfect triangles but I like the character it brings 🙂 You can do any shape you’d like but I find triangles are easiest for me.
Time to butter these beauties up and get into the 350 degree oven!
Look how beautiful they are when they get out of the oven 
Hope you enjoy and please post any questions in the comments below – thanks!
