Gluten Free {Lentil} Scones
A super simple and delicious scone recipe suitable for all gluten, dairy and grain free eaters:)
Ingredients
- 200 g red lentils soaked for 5-8 hours
- 1 organic egg
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 75 g coconut sugar
- 125 g coconut oil
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- The night or morning before you want to to make these scones place the red lentils in a bowl and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and leave for 5-8 hours.
- When you ready to make the scones preheat oven at 180c.
- Drain the lentils and place in a food processor. Add the egg, salt, coconut oil and coconut sugar and blend until smooth.
- Add the coconut flour.
- Then the mixture will still be quite wet and sticky but on a grease proofed tray grab a heaped tbsp of the mixture and shape with your hands into the shape you want and place on the tray.
- When shaping them make them tall as they won't rise like standard scones. I made these about 1.5 inches in height.
- Optional - brush with some beaten egg for a nice gloss.
- Cook for about 45mins or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool and serve with organic butter, cream and jam!
Notes
If the mixture is far too sticky and runny add a tbsp more coconut flour.
Feel free to sprinkle cheese on top or add fruit if you want a cheese or fruit scones.
These would also work well using organic butter too just use 125g of butter instead of coconut oil.
These will keep for 3-4 days but eaten fresh and warm is best.
