Gluten Free Scones: Revisted

Last week I blogged about gluten free scones. I became obsessed and had to make them again two days later. The second time around I tried out a couple new variations and decided I'd actually make the effort to pull my camera out and semi-document the process. The last round of scones were lemon-currant, the two most recent variations were equally as good as the last. I tested out one savoury-spicy-sweet combination: cheddar, cayenne, and date. I also tested out a fall favourite: apple-cinnamon, which would have been wonderful with some chopped walnuts or cheddar. I'm salivating as I type this.

Make sure the apples are diced to about 1/4 inch cubes and stir into the mixture with the buttermilk. Try adding 1/3 C cubed cheddar. Serve with honey.
