(I've not made this recipe)
Preheat oven to 350°
Mix the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
Mix together the cream, egg and vanilla in a separate bowl. Add to the flour mixture and work together until a dough forms.
Gently knead in the chocolate chips.
Form the dough in to a flat rectangle about 15"long by 2 1/2 wide and 3/4 thick. Cut the dough into triangles to form 12 scones.
Start by cutting the dough crosswise in half, then divide each half into three 2 1/2 in squares. Then cut each square diagonally to form triangles.
Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet 1 inch apart.
Bake for 20 min or until lightly golden brown.
Allow to cool on the cookie sheet.
Vanilla-Raisin: sub raisins for the choc chips
Cherry-Almond: sub almond extract for the vanilla and dried cherries for the choc chips
Pecan-Bourbon: sub 1 Tbsp bourbon for the vanilla and chopped pecans for the choc chips
