The Best Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry Scones
Let’s bake gluten-free lemon blueberry scones!
These are simply the best, even if you are not celiac or don’t need to avoid gluten. The lemon only accentuates the natural blueberry flavor and the glaze adds the perfect touch.
My husband is sensitive to gluten so I am constantly searching for gluten-free recipes so he can enjoy his favorite treats. This blueberry scone recipe is honestly so good he asked me twice whether I was sure it was gluten-free.
Want to make sure you get the perfect consistency? Keep in mind that the mix should not be too loose. While it will still bake up, it will be more cake-like than scone-like.
