Method
Step 1
Put a large baking tray in the oven and preheat the oven to 220°C /200°C fan/ gas mark 6.
Step 2
Plae, baking powder and xanthan gum into a bowl then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.
Step 3
Lightly beat the egg and milk in a jug then gradually pour into the flour mixture and stir with a palette knife to form a soft dough.
Step 4
Turn the mixture onto a very lightly dusted work surface and shape into a circle with your hands about 4cm thick.
Step 5
Using a 6cm round cutter, cut the dough into 8 scones. You may need to reshape the dough.
Step 6
Brush the tops of the scones lightly with milk then place on the hot baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until well risen and golden.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked scones onto a wire rack to cool and try serving with jam and clotted cream.

not bad but didn't rise much. I used coconut sugar as I am gluten free and sugar free. would recommend as a healthy alternative 🫶🏻
