Gluten-Free Spiced Pumpkin Scones

Gluten-Free Spiced Pumpkin Scones

Intolerance to wheat has become a well known health concern.  Its been reported that up to one third of the American population may be affected.  The only natural treatment is to go gluten-free.  In my home, we’re learning more and more about this disorder.  My daughter may be a sufferer.

Unfortunately wheat flour is used in most baked goods.  And we love baking!  So here is what I did.   

Substituting wheat flour for one that is gluten-free can be a little tricky.  I discovered it’s best to combine more than one type of flour.  Instead of making my own concoction, I purchased one that was already mixed from Cloud 9 Specialty Bakery.  It’s a mixture of rice flour, buckwheat flour, cornstarch, potato starch, tapioca starch and xanthan gum.  And the best part?  It’s a cup-for-cup flour replacement.

This is exactly what I did.  I substituted regular all-purpose flour with GF flour.

Well I have to say, I was impressed.  These gluten-free pumpkin scones turned out moist, crumbly and delicious.  Rich in spiced pumpkin flavour.  The addition of spiced glaze drizzled on top added an extra hint of spice and a touch of sweetness.
