    Expert Answer
    For a gluten-free scone recipe, start by combining gluten-free flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Incorporate cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add wet ingredients like eggs and milk, mix until a dough forms, then shape and bake at 410F for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
