Choose your favorite variety with these quick and easy scone recipes, these are easy to make and many gluten-free too!
One of my favorite things to make is scones, even better when you can make such a wide variety.
Scones can be made either sweet with fruit and berries or savory with spinach, onion, and cheese. It’s really up to you!
You will quickly find that making scones is going to be much easier than you originally thought, it does not take much skill to make great scones.
If you are hosting a brunch, sometimes it’s great to have a variety of sweet scones and savory scones. Thankfully, this list of scones recipes is going to help you have a little bit of both!
How do you make gluten-free scones?
Scones are actually VERY easy to make gluten-free by swapping the flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour.
In order to make these taste the same, use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour such as Better Batter.
If you do not have Better Batter, you can also use your favorite 1:1 flour, I prefer Better Batter and have used it for years, so that’s my go-to for these recipes.
Remember though that this is a variety of recipes, so additional items may need to be swapped so be sure to read the recipe carefully.
Tips for Making Scones Recipes:
These are best made hand-mixed and using a pastry blender works well too. This would be similar to what you would use if you were making biscuit dough.
Each recipe in this list will be specific to that recipe; however, for most using cold butter is also very important and it is then cut into the batter.
This will give the batter the correct consistency.
What should you serve scones with?
Scones are a wonderful breakfast or brunch pastry that pairs perfectly with your favorite coffee drink such as this Iced Mocha or Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Made these with my boys it’s a hit! We use a heart shaped cookie cutter to make cute heart shaped blueberry scones!
