- If your gluten free flour blenddoesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
- Bacon – You can use any pork or turkey bacon.
- Maple syrup – You can use any type, grade A or B.

Step 4: Bake at 350º F for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the scone pan and allow it to cool on a rack.
Step 5: Mix the powdered sugar and maple syrup. Mix the glaze. (Mix carefully so the powdered sugar doesn’t go flying!)
Step 6: Dip the scones into the maple syrup to coat each scone. Remove from the glaze and allow to dry on a cooling rack. Optional: top with a pecan half.
