Rice Flour Scones

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Yields: 8 servings

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups brown or white rice flour
• 5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup agave nectar
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more to taste
• 1 cup diced candied ginger

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Whisk together the egg, milk, agave nectar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ginger in a separate bowl. Stir ingredients into the flour mixture until moistened.

5. Spread the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, for five or six turns. Pat or roll the dough out into a ½-inch-thick round. Cut dough into 8 wedge-shaped pieces and place onto the baking sheet.

6. Bake scones in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.

7. Serve.
