Gluten-Free Low-Carb Cherry Almond Scones made with Hi-maize and Lorann Bakery Emulsion

Scones have to be one of the most popular coffee break snacks today. Every coffee shop I come across seems to always have them on the menu. With good reason, they are moist, tender and delicious! This recipe is all of those things, but without the guilt of inhaling a gazillion carbs! I used my Low-Carb Gluten-Free Flour Mix #3 for these light and airy scones. It is lighter in texture than my other mixes, has the least carbs, more neutral flavor, and is perfect for tender pastries like these. Scones are a very versatile treat. You can add blueberries, raisins, cherries or even sugar-free chocolate chips and nuts. They don't have to be sweet treats either. I have had wonderful savory scones with herbs and sun dried tomatoes, Yumm! Let your imagination dictate your recipe!
I used two products in this recipe I would like to bring to your attention: Hi-maize resistant corn starch and Lorann Bakery Emulsions. Both are gluten-free.

Hi-Maize Resistant Starch is very light in texture, adds healthy fiber, is nearly flavorless and low in carbs.

Hi-maize Resistant Starch 5 LB - $19.99 at Honeyville.com

Bakery emulsions don't lose their potency when used in baked goods and custards, unlike the alcohol based extracts. Use it just like you would any other extract. It comes in a wide variety of flavors, 17 of them I believe. Coffee flavor is one of my favorites! I love this stuff!

Gluten-Free Low-Carb Ricotta Pancakes

I love pancakes, all kinds of pancakes! Look at how fluffy these are, Mmmm! No sweetener needed for this one either. I used my Gluten-Free Low-Carb Flour Mix for this recipe and ricotta cheese. They turned out moist, fluffy and delicious! Just how a pancake should be. Blueberries or chocolate chips would be wonderful additions to this recipe, but I decided to keep it simple for the first go-around. Now on to the recipe.

Gluten-Free Low-Carb Garlic and Herb Bread Sticks

Bread sticks that are low-carb, gluten-free and also soft and chewy? You found em! These are so good! They have a light texture and a flavor that reminds me of whole wheat bread. Perfect for sopping up marinara sauce. These were super easy to whip up. The dough is very workable, perfect for shaping into bread sticks. I used my revised Gluten-Free Low-Carb Flour Mix for this recipe.

Gluten-Free Low-Carb Buttermilk Biscuits

Light and fluffy buttermilk biscuits, that just happen to be gluten-free and low-carb as well! Who knew such a thing existed? I am very happy with this biscuit recipe. I used the new revised version of my Gluten-Free Low-Carb Flour Mix. You can see how light and fluffy the texture is by looking at the photo above. I actually prefer these biscuits over my regular gluten-free biscuits. They are healthier too, that's always a good thing in my book! I can see light and fluffy gluten-free low-carb scones in the near future! This new mix works so well!

Gluten-Free Low-Carb Chia Bread

Here is my first attempt at gluten free low carb bread. I must say, for a first go around, it's pretty good! It has a pleasant, nutty, whole grain flavor. This recipe could be a base for "not rye" bread as well. This recipe contains a 1/4 cup ground psyllium, therefore I didn't need to use any gums. I also used a gluten-free low-carb baking mix that I have been working on. I plan on tweaking it until I get it just right.

Soft Sandwich Bread

There is nothing better than the smell of fresh bread hot out of the oven! This recipe makes the perfect soft sandwich bread. It's crusty on the outside and very tender, yet not wet or gummy, on the inside. What every person on a gluten free diet is looking for! I have experimented with many combinations of ingredients and countless recipes found online before coming up with this recipe. It is my favorite by far!! I really hope you love this as much as I do.
