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.....

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
