Step-by-Step Instructions for Gluten-Free Almond Flour Scones
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until well blended.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until well combined.
  5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a disc about 1 inch thick.
  7. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
  8. Place each wedge onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes.
  9. Once baked, let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
