My sister Beth is one of the many people that benefits greatly from a Gluten Free diet so I had to be sure to have something yummy at the Beatrix Potter party for her to enjoy. I decided on scones since it was a tea party & I'd been wanting to try my hand at GF scones for a while now. We all loved them, even the gluten eaters, so I'd like to share my recipe with you.

1 {16oz} box of GF baking mix
{I used Aldi's pancakes kind.}
1/4c. Sugar
1/2c. Butter {chilled}
1 {3.5oz} pkg. Dried Blueberries
1c. Fresh Strawberries
{cut into bite sized pieces}
3/4c. Milk
3 Eggs
1/2tsp. Vanilla Extract
🍓🍓🍓
Mix together baking mix & sugar in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender. Add berries & toss until evenly distributed & strawberries are coated. Mix milk, eggs. & vanilla in a separate bowl very well. Now add this to the flour & berry mixture. Stir with a rubber spatula until well incorporated. Drop by rounded 1/2 cupsful onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 425° F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown & baked through. This makes about 8 large scones. You could also make them smaller & adjust cooking times accordingly.

Perhaps you could serve them the next time a friend from the town comes to visit?
Enjoy!
