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!

these DO sound good!

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.

wait...it already says 3/4 cup..... :blink: do you mean half a cup? just clarifying as I HATE baking and am not so good at figuring it out, gluten-free or not!

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.....

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
