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.

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.....

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
