Fair Scones

I'm feeling a little sorry for myself because I'm still recovering from surgery and can't make it to our local fair. I've only missed once in the past 20 years before this. Anyway, I was missing the fair and missing those really yummy fair scones and thought I'd try making them gluten-free. So I found a copy-cat recipe online and decided to modify it to gluten-free. It worked! My 2 gluten-free kids and I were in heaven. Even my kids' friends who were here liked them.

Here's the recipe:

Puyallup Fair (Fischer) Scones (modified recipe)

2 C gluten-free Flour (Br. Rice, Potato starch, Tapioca starch, xanthan gum)

2 tsp. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Egg Replacer

2 Tbs. Sugar

1/4 tsp. Salt (More if you use shortening with no salt.)

Sift above ingredients and add:

1/3 C Butter

Use pastry cutter to chop butter into fine pieces, should be well-mixed with flour.

Then add:

3/4 C Milk (Rice milk worked for me)

Stir together until it forms a ball in the bowl. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball and flatten to 3/4 - 1" thick on a well floured board. Cut into 4 pie shaped pieces and gently place on cookie sheet sprayed with NS spray.

Bake at 450 degrees for 6 minutes then turn oven temp. down to 400 for 6 more minutes. They should be slightly browned on top.

Split in half and serve with butter and raspberry jam. Enjoy!

Just wondering...instead of the egg replacer, should I just use one egg? Would like to make an attempt....have not baked ONE THING since going gluten-free in January.

You will have to reduce the liquid added to make up for the difference. Try taking the rice milk down to 3/4 cup.

Try taking it down by a quarter of a cup to 1/2 cup. I guess I wasn't reading straight.

What are the portions of each of the flours used? And how much xanthan gum. So far I only use mixes for my baking (except choc. chip cookies). So, I am also like Dingo Girl, I need explicit directions. And I would use an egg as I have no egg replacer.

No! They don't call for eggs. I just put in the egg replacer to help with leavening and give the scones a light texture. I'm sure you could put in 3 tsp. of baking powder if you don't have the egg replacer.

Yes, I live in Federal Way. Twenty minutes from the Puyallup Fairgrounds.

I make a mix of 3 C Br. Rice flour, 1 C Potato starch, 1/2 C Tapioca starch and 2-1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum. I sift it together 3 times and then measure the flour from that. And again, the recipe doesn't call for egg - it would wreck it!

Can you use canola oil instead of the butter/shortening?

Thank you. I wrote everything down on the print out. I hope to try these this next week. They sound so yummy.

I am going to use Spectrum shortening in place of butter. I use the Spectrum in my choc. chip cookies. Hopefully these will turn out without the butter.

Armetta--they will be fine with the Spectrum, I'm sure. I substitute it for butter or margarine all the time. Never had a problem! :)

I was just at the Puyallup fair yesterday! I have been gluten free for 18 years and have always missed the scones. Funny thing, my sister asked me to pick her up one and I said no, I wasn't going to stand in line for 30 minuters for something I couldn't eat! LOL Thanks a million!!!! Can't wait to give it a try.....

      Hair loss

      By TessaBaker · Posted

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Fluka66! Did you realize that the vast majority of all canned soups use wheat starch as a thickener, including such common commodities as Campbell's tomato soup?

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Hello. Any help would really steady my nerves right now. I realised recently that certain food left me in agonising pain so eliminated from my diet. I also have a swollen lymph node. My very caring Dr did some blood tests and I went back the other day to see another equally caring Dr . She looked at the test results one result has come back with something wrong. It came very fast so I'm afraid I didn't catch what it was. Anyway the urgent referral to ENT. She did say as I had already eliminated gluten it wouldn't say anything on the results and neither Drs nor I were prepared to reintroduce gluten . I've just had some tomato soup and again in agony only thinking this must have aggravated maybe existing problems. Does anyone know what I'm facing now ? My swollen lymph node , pain when eating gluten and lactose and I'm assuming the acidity of tomatoes triggering pain.  I'm trying to stay calm and to be honest I've been in intolerable pain at times rendering me unable to stand up straight but I've always just got on with it . Guess I'm reaching out and would really appreciate any wise or unwise words at this stage. Wishing you all the very best as you live with this illness. Fluka66
