Honey Vanilla Scones
(SCD, Paleo, Egg free, Dairy free)
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp organic vanilla
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 egg or 3 tbsp of water
Instructions
-
Place flour and butter in a microwave proof bowl and microwave for 80 seconds on high to melt butter
-
Add remaining ingredients to bowl
-
Mix well with a pastry blender
-
Place dough on a sheet of wax paper and press into a large ball surrounded by the wax paper
-
Place dough with wax paper surrounding it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes (this isn't necessary but helps the dough stay together and makes it easier to work with)
-
Preheat oven to 350 F
-
Form 3 inch round discs with dough and place on a baking sheet (this should make about 6 scones)
-
Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops of the scones are golden brown in colour
-
Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy! These freeze really well too if you want to store them for later
Let me know what you think of these! Aren’t they super easy??
Can I use cashew meal, or does it need to be super fine flour?
To be honest I have never tried these with anything other than the fine almond flour meal. I imagine cashew meal would also work though! It would probably be delicious 🙂
could I use another flour to be AIP compliant you think? (coconut, arrowroot, tapioca?) looks SO good!
Unfortunately I don't think avoiding the nut flour is possible for this one. You would have to change the portions so dramatically and add other ingredients like eggs. I will try to develop an alternative recipe in the future since I know many of my readers can't have nuts. Sorry I wasn't more helpful!
