Gluten Free Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones

Today I decided to make some Gluten Free Scones. I found recipes at http://karinaskitchen.blogspot.com/

AND

http://daringtothrive.blogspot.com/

The scones I have made are a combination of the two and changes.

I used:

1 cup sorghum flour

**3/4 cup cornstarch

3/4 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup coconut flour

**1/3 cup unsweetened coconut

3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup earth balance very, very soft (from the round container)

1/3 cup honey (I'm going to try Rice Syrup next time)

1 cup buttermilk...I used plain soymilk with 1 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 cup frozen strawberries sliced and cut into pieces (not thawed) with 1 Tbsp. brown sugar (I added a little more)

1/2 cup Tropical Source chocolate chips ( I add a few chips more)

------------------------------------

I mixed the dry ingredients; added the earth balance and mixed until well blended (with a fork or spoon.)

Mix in the honey and buttermilk. Will be soft. Carefully add in the strawberry pieces and chocolate chips.

Form into two balls on a greased (earth balance) baking sheet (I use the shiny kind).

flatten to about 1/2 to 1 inch thick...I like these to be about 3/4 inch.
Slice each flattened ball into 8 scones and separate on the baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Excellent!!!

Next time I will try using vanilla soymilk and I wonder if sweetened coconut would be good?
