Maple & Walnut Scones

Himself has become quite partial to the Hairy Bikers' "Maple Syrup, Walnut & Buttermilk scones" which we've made fairly often with gluten free flour and had great success.

Notes/Tips:

• Add a teaspoon of xanthan gum.  
• I swap salt for bicarb of soda, but more often than not don't use either.
• No oatmeal? No worries!  Whizz up some oats in the food processor.
• No buttermilk?  Use half/half plain yoghurt and semi-skimmed milk.
• Try not to be too upset about the amount of maple syrup you need!
• GF Brown or wholegrain flour seems like a decent enough sub for wholemeal.
