Ingredients
  • ½ cup rice flour, plus extra for rolling dough out
  • ½ cup tapioca flour
  • ½ teaspoon xathan gum
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter or df margarine, cut up
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk (I used vanilla almond milk)
  • 1 teaspoon gf vanilla
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped semi-sweet chocolate
Topping
  • 1 tablespoon milk (I used vanilla almond milk)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  3. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 cross cutting forks.
  4. In a small bowl, blend the egg, milk, and vanilla together with a whisk.
  5. Add the liquid to the dry mixture and stir until the liquids are completely incorporated. Stir the chocolat pieces until they are just incorporated
  6. Form a ½″ thick circle on ungreased baking sheet. The dough is very sticky, so you will want to use some rice flour as you roll it out. Then use a pizza cutter to cut the circle into 8 wedges, but do not separate the dough.
  7. Use a basting brush to brush the top with milk and then sprinkle with sugar.
  8. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until the scones begin to brown. Cool on a wire rack.
