INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups almond flour

  • 1/2 cup cassava flour

  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (golden if possible)

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1/2 cup currants (optional)

  • 1 tablespoons orange zest (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds (optional)

PREPARATION

1 Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cassava flour, flaxseed meal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3 In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, egg, melted butter, and honey until well combined. (Add in the orange zest here if desired.)

4 Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well until a wet dough forms. If using currants or caraway seeds, fold them into the dough.

5 Scoop out the dough using a large ice cream scoop and place on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.

6 Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:

  • Store in an air-tight container for 3-4 days or refrigerate up to a week.

  • Reheat the scones in a toaster oven or oven for a few minutes.

  • Serve with your favorite jam, clotted cream, or cream cheese.
