- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 2 cups gluten free 1:1 flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 egg

- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 medium-size lemon)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Mariani vanilla walnutmilk (or any other milk you prefer), to brush tops

Instructions
step 1
In a large liquid measuring cup, add apple cider vinegar and enough milk to measure ½ cup. Stir and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the milk to curdle.
step 2
Using a cheese grater with large holes, grate the butter onto a small plate. Place in the freezer.
step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free 1:1 flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
step 4
In the liquid measuring cup with the milk and apple cider vinegar, add the Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk with a fork until combined.
step 5
Remove the butter from the freezer and add it to the dry ingredients. Add the lemon zest and mix with a fork until incorporated. Add the wet ingredients and stir until everything is moistened and combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Do not skip this step!
step 7
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
step 8
Using a large #20 scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
step 9
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the tops and edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
