LEMON GINGER SCONES WITH BROWN RICE FLOUR AND AGAVE NECTAR
My mother-in-law loved my scones, but she doesn't take well to gluten or sugar, so after a few experiments I had gluten-free, diabetic-friendly deliciousness!

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together the egg, milk, agave nectar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ginger in a separate bowl; stir into the flour mixture until moistened.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, for five or six turns. Pat or roll the dough out into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Cut into 8 wedge-shaped pieces and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

RICE FLOUR SCONES
This is a good recipe for those allergic to regular flour. However, it is a recipe that takes a few practice runs to get comfortable with, as working with rice flour is very different than regular flour. Also, adding fruit or flavoring is very important, as these are very bland otherwise.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place flours, baking powder, baking soda, xanthum gum, salt and sugar in food processor.
- Pulse on and off just enough to combine ingredients.
- Add butter and pulse 15-20 times until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- With a fork or whisk, combine eggs and yogurt in a small bowl.
- Pour over flour mixture in the food processor and process for about 10 second or until dough forms large curds.
- Turn dough onto counter, form into circle and cut into triangles.
- It will not be as stiff as"normal" doughs, so you have to treat it very gently.
- Bake about 12-15 minutes until a light golden brown.
- You can add a variety of things to this basic recipe to make them taste pretty decent.
- Just about any flavorings, fruits, etc.
- can be added.
- Just be prepared to adjust accordingly for the difference you will find with the moisture of the batch.
- Do not handle this dough any more than you have to-- its one of those doughs that needs to be done just so.
- Too much of one thing will give you sand, too much of another will give you goo.
Tips:
- Choose the right rice flour. Sweet rice flour or glutinous rice flour will produce chewier scones, while regular rice flour will produce scones with a lighter texture.
- Use cold butter. This will help to create flaky layers in the scones.
- Work quickly. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
- Don't over-mix the dough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of a scone should come out clean.
- Serve the scones warm. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
