Halfway Healthy – GF Shortcakes

Recipe created by Sarah Holtz

Serves 10

Ingredients

These are mildly sweet and a fantastic substitute for scones the next day with coffee.

½ C rice flour

¾ C garbanzo bean flour

¾ C coconut flour

2 Tbsp stevia

1 Tbsp xanthan gum

2 Tbsp ground flax seeds

1 tsp baking soda

1 Tbsp baking powder

Pinch salt

8 Tbsp cold butter cut in small sections

2 tsp vanilla

2 5oz cup Greek yogurt (10 oz total)

5 oz water (I measured with the Greek yogurt cup.)

Method

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F or 218 degrees C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Mix the first nine dry ingredients with a fork in a medium-sized bowl. With a large fork or two knives cut in butter till the mixture is coarse and crumbly. Add vanilla, Greek yogurt, and water to the bowl. Gently fold in with a spatula. Drop by large spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet. (I used the spatula to separate the dough in the bowl, scoring it across making roughly 10 sections. Then, I scooped from each section so that each cake was about the same size.) These cakes bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 15 minutes before slicing.
