Can I use plain gluten-free flour?

Yes, but you'll need to add 2 tsp baking powder per 225g of plain GF flour, plus a pinch of salt.

Why do my GF scones turn out crumbly?

Gluten-free dough is naturally more fragile. Adding xanthan gum helps bind the mix. Also, avoid overbaking.

Is Marmite gluten-free?

In the UK, Marmite contains barley , so it's not gluten-free. Look for yeast extracts labeled gluten-free , like “GF Vegemite” or alternatives.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes! Chill the dough for up to 24 hours , or freeze shaped scones unbaked.

Do these taste different from the regular version?

They’re just as flavorful , though slightly more tender and delicate in texture.

Are these school lunch-friendly?

Absolutely! They're nut-free and savory , making them a great snack or sandwich alternative.
