A basic scone recipe.
It should only take 30 mins in total.
1. Set your fan oven to 200c.
I use this flour,but any self raising gluten free flour should be fine.
2. Add 4+ mugs of flour.

1 teaspoon of xanthan gum,
and mix it through with a spoon.
You will need butter. I use real butter - you can use margarine (but I don't think it's as tasty).
4. Grate in around 150 grms straight from the fridge.
You can use a knife to cut the butter through, I have a pastry mixer but a knife will do just as well.

5. Next dot about 4 tablespoons of thick natural yogurt over the mixture
6. Fill the well with milk, until it's just meeting the top, about 2 mugs of milk.
I find flour behaves differently at various times of the year depending on the flour so I'm not specific about how much milk to add for this reason.
Just pour it over the mixture and let it soak in for about 30 seconds. Gluten free flour tends to need time to soak up moisture, so I leave it sit .
It should look like this.

8. Spoon the mixture onto grease proof paper a metal spoon is best for this job, and pile it high (you should get about 20 scones from this recipe).
Place the scones near the top of the oven for 15 mins,

Tap them, if they sound hollow, they're done!!

If they get a bit hard put them in a hot oven for about 5 mins and they spring back to life.....
