Sowan’s is a 100% Irish company that started off in farmers markets with a simple range of gluten-free baking mixes. Today, they offer a range of healthy and delicious snacks, wholefoods and gluten free baking mixes. I like to support and recommend Irish food producers and brands that I genuinely love, so if you’re looking for some top quality Irish gluten free baking mixes, check out Home – Sowan’s. Sowan’s previously gifted me some of their Gluten Free Brown Bread Mix, and I used it to make these delicious brown scones, which are now one of my staple weekly bakes.
Sowan’s Gluten Free Brown Scones
Delicious and nutritious gluten free brown scones. Quick and easy to make, and perfect as a mid-morning snack or a lunchbox staple.
Ingredients
- 225 g gluten free self raising flour blend sifted
- 225 g Sowan's gluten free brown bread mix
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 40 g soft light brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 100 g hard butter cubed
- 250 ml buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
- Sieve the flours into a bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs (or use a food processor).
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in the salt and the soft light brown sugar.
- In a separate bowl/measuring jug, mix together the buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, and the egg.
- Use a knife to quickly mix together to form a dough – take care not to overmix.
- Tip onto a floured surface and lightly knead (bring together with your hands) a couple of times.
- Press out gently to about 4cm thick and cut out rounds witha 7cm or 8cm *scone cutter.
- Re-shape the trimmings, until all the dough is used.
- Place the scones on to a lightly floured flat baking tray. Add a splash of milk into the buttermilk bowl/jug, and use this to glaze the top of each scone.
- Bake for 18-20 mins until golden and well risen.
