Grandma's Oatmeal Scones
A gluten free breakfast pizza shaped scone topped with melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Slice this in wedges and enjoy for breakfast or an afternoon snack. I have a large family and this recipe make 2 large pizza shaped scones. Feel free to cut this recipe in half for smaller families.
Equipment
- 2 baking sheets
- parchment paper
- 1 large bowl
- measuring cups, spoons, knife, spatula, rolling pin, pizza slicer, etc
Ingredients
- 3 C all purpose gluten free flour blend I use my all purpose blend
- 2 TBSP baking powder
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 4 TBSP granulated sugar
- 3/4 C gluten free rolled oats
- 2/3 C unsalted butter, cold, chopped into small chunks
- 1 1/3 C whole milk I use Fairelife; may need a splash more too
- 3 TBSP butter, melted
- 1/4 C granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, sea salt, sugar, and oats. Stir well.
- Add cold butter pieces and cut into dry ingredients using a pastry blender.
- Add milk and stir gently with a fork until all ingredients are mixed. Let stand 2-3 minutes.
- On generously floured(same all purpose gluten free flour) parchment paper, place half of the dough. Flour the top and your rolling pin and gently roll dough into about a 9.5x9.5 circle. Carefully place the parchment paper with dough rolled out onto a baking sheet. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Melt 3 TBSP of butter and spread onto dough using a basting brush. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. GENEROUSLY sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the melted butter on the dough. (I always have a container of cinnamon/sugar mixed together so that it is easier to sprinkle). I never measure the exact amount of cinnamon/sugar. But trust me you want it to be GENEROUSLY sprinkled. I don't think you'll need all the cinnamon/sugar mixture, this is just how much I mix up at a time.
- Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-17 minutes. I like to switch my baking sheets half way through for even baking in my oven. They are done when the edges are lightly browned.
- Cut into wedge-shaped slices and enjoy!
