Fantastic - These were made for an afternoon tea on Coronation day. Everything was measured, I used self raising flour, and added 50gms of Sultanas soaked overnight in black tea to plump up. The recipe is really easy to follow, the natural yoghurt I used was 0% fat thick Greek Yoghurt, gently mixed through. I cut out 7 massive scones, nice and thick with a cutter and used baking parchment on the baking tray. They were amazing, so good my non G F visitors took the recipe home with them. Served with clotted cream and strawberry conserve. No aftertaste and light in texture. I will be making these again 100%.

Thank you so much for making this recipe ‘freely’ available ;-) Having been a long time baker I really appreciate how this dough comes together. It is a delight to work this beautiful mixture. Doubling the recipe went really well but remember to weigh everything . . . anyway, that is what I did. Non-gluten friends were very impressed. I used ‘Flora’ plant cream which whips up like dairy cream . . . without becoming butter : ) And . . . you can rewhip it if it falls, no problem.

I loved the recipe! I used buttermilk instead of yoghurt and it worked great.

I made these today with my 5 year old as I have an egg and gluten intolerance. Wow they were delicious we had butter & jam on one and Nutella on the other. I was very impressed how they rose, I did measure the thickness as the recipe said 3cm thickness, I did 2cm.

This recipe works well! I used full fat (10%) Greek yogurt and omit the butter. I also didn't add xanthan gum but it didn't seem to be a problem as they came out really nice and fluffy. The only downside is a slight bitter taste, next time I will add some raisins.

I have tried making GF scones many times without success but made these today and am thrilled with the results. I added a few raisins and will add more next time to disguise the slight bitter aftertaste. Thank you for this recipe.

I made theses last week I followed the instructions but missed out icing sugar as I'm sugar free they came out perfect the thicker they go in the better they rise and if u leave them 1/2inc apart they will rise off each other I used them with strawberry/cream or grilled with butter for toast in morning as I'm yeast free 2. I also freezed them and then left them out 2 defrost and they were lovely, so simple and amazing.

This was fun to try as hubby has egg/nut allergies and we are trying to reduce gluten. I subbed in coconut oil in stead of better then divided the recipe in half pre the sugar so did half sweet (with cinnamon and raisins and half savoury with paprika and chorizo. The sweet ones were better, the savoury a bit biscuit-like. Neither rose much - 5tsp as in heaped or level??? - but still thought it was quite successful.

Fabulous! I'm new to gluten-free baking. First attempt at scones with another recipe was abysmal failure...very grainy, flat & hard. But this recipe was easy to make with my 4yr old, delicious, not grainy, rose beautifully...and fantastic with my homemade jam. As we are also fructose intolerant, we made with dextrose, and served with homemade jam. Just perfect!

I made these just this evening as I am making scones with a year 3 class at school on Monday and one of the children is a celiac. I am really glad that I gave them a test run today as I don't like them at all - the rice flour made them taste grainy. Sorry.

Adjusted this recipe to make cheese scones. Omit sugar, add 1tsp mustard powder, pinch cayenne, 1medium egg. Used 10 fl oz buttermilk instead of yoghurt. The are lovely.

Lovely flavour, light and moist and not crumbly. They hold together brilliantly and no spread during cooking.

Wonderful scones, normally mine dont rise much but these were lovely, hot or cold light and moist.

Very nice scones and really easy to make. I've never had any success with normal wheat scones so I was really pleased with the result. I used buttermilk for the second batch I made - just as nice but needs a little more flour as the buttermilk isn't as thick as the yoghurt. Lovely with my homemade jam!

I didn't have any rice flour so used the doves farm gluten free plain flour. I added a little sour milk to the yoghurt to make up the 300mls and the result was fabulous.. especially with my home made dandelion marmarlade x

Obvious mistake.... Baking power contains Gluten..... Might have realised if I had coeliac rather than cooking them for a friend! Yogurt gave a creamy texture so on my next batch I will use half yogurt half water and Gluten free baking powder!!

I've also tried this recipe and they turn out lovely as single scones too, much better than what you buy in the shops under the guise of gluten free scones!

Because of my daughters intollerances i had to also omit sugar. I had to change the yoghurt to Sheeps Yoghurt. As the sheeps yoghurt is very solid and creamy i had to add a small amount of water to the mix. I made as a scone round. The Scones were absolutely delicious.

I made these this afternoon and they are absolutely delicious. I made one big scone. I patted it in to shape 2" thick,dusted it with flour and then lightly scored it in to 6. It came out looking beautiful. Have a go. Good luck!
