Ingredients
Gluten-Free Chai Scone Ingredients:
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 Chai Tea Bags
  • 1 cup rice flour, plus extra for rolling dough out
  • ¾ cup tapioca flour
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon potato starch
  • 1 teaspoon xathan gum
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter or dairy-free margarine, cut up
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla
Vanilla Glaze Ingredients:
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons vanilla almond milk (or milk)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • pinch of salt
Directions
Gluten-Free Chai Scones Instructions:
  1. Place tea bags in boiling water. Allow to steep for 5 minutes. Squeeze the water from the tea bags.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  4. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 cross cutting forks.
  5. Add the egg, tea, and vanilla to the dry mixture and stir until the liquids are completely incorporated.
  6. Divide the batter in half and form two ½ inch thick circles on an 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 each circle into 8 wedges, but do not separate the dough.
  7. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until the scones begin to brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Vanilla Glaze Instructions:
  1. Blend the vanilla glaze ingredients together until smooth. Use a whisk to remove any lumps.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the scones.
