  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder, sifted
  • ¼ cup strong brewed coffee

 Sweet Scones

1lb mixture of Gram flour / Gluten-free White Flour / Rice flour

4 tsps Baking Powder

4tsps Xantham Gum

4oz Caster Sugar

4oz Margarine

2-3oz Fruit (Cherries, Sultanas, Apricots, etc)

2eggs + milk (or soya milk if making Dairy –Free as well)

I developed this recipe because the shop-bought GF bread was soooo dire. The key ingredient (as in all GF baking) is the Xantham Gum. This ‘glues’ together the flours in the absence of the gluten present in wheat flours.

I found that using a mixture of flours makes for a more tasty dough, so I just mix together a few of the following - G-F white bread flour, brown rice flour, white rice flour, gram flour (also known as Chick Pea flour) and Soy Flour. You can also add Buckwheat flour which has a unique flavour, but makes the bread rather grey!

 Ingredients

2oz            brown sugar

1 lemon      juice & grated rind 

1⁄2tsp        cinnamon

4oz            sunflower oil

6oz            rice or gluten free flour (or mixture of both)

1oz            gram flour

2 tsps       Xantham gum

2 oz          desiccated coconut

2oz           crushed pineapple

4oz            finely grated carrots

1tbsp         water

1⁄2             grated rind & juice of orange

6oz            icing sugar
