Sabato’s Gluten Free Cheese Scones

These are a favourite for Sabato shoppers and we’re pleased to share them. They are made with Sabato’s new ONZFPA Gold Medal-winning gluten-free taste great and shouldn’t be only for celiacs but will be enjoyed by all scone lovers!

Recipe makes 8 - 12 scones, depending on how big you want to make them.

3 cups Sabato gluten-free flour by Kate Fay - an ONZFPA 2023 Gold Medal winner

4½ tsp gluten-free baking powder

50g cold butter, cubed or coarsely grated

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper (preferably white)

1¼ cups tasty cheese – we recommend a lovely farmhouse cheddar

1 cup milk

½ cup cream

Preheat oven to 180ºC. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the butter to the flour and gently rub it in. Stir in the salt, pepper and cheese, reserving ¼ cup of cheese for the topping. Add the milk and cream to the dry ingredients and gently fold the liquid into the mixture to combine, handling the dough as little as possible, just enough to bind the mixture together. Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and portion the dough into your desired shape and size. Place the dough portions onto the lined tray and sprinkle each with a little of the reserved cheese. Place in the hot oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
