Persimmon Scones | How to make Scones at home | Glutenfree Recipe |Christmas Breakfast | Stepwise Pictures

Hi Supermoms,

It is the season of Persimmons also known as the 'Ramphal' in hindi. A very tasty fruit. Persimmons tastes so good as is..but the baker in me was getting tempted to bake something interesting. So I baked scones today and they were simply delicious. 

Scones are classic English breakfast  that are enjoyed with jam, cream or butter. It is best when eaten warm. The scones I made today were so soft,fluffy and rich in taste that they were devoured without any accompaniments. Adding fruits makes it more wholesome and healthy.

I have used Rice flour mixed with edible gum for this recipe. You now get them in your supermarkets under the label, "Maida Replacers". I have used Fresh Cream in the recipe. But if you are Vegan you can use fresh Coconut Cream or Coconut Milk to make these Scones. Even Almond Milk would be a great alternative.
