Learn more about our gluten-free blueberry lemon scones, offered as part of our delicious homemade breakfast served every morning at Prairie Guest House.
We love making breakfast, and we love putting a smile on peoples' faces. One of the many delights that our guests enjoy during their stay with us is our Blueberry Lemon Scone, a favorite from our homemade breakfast at Prairie Guest House. The light crust of cardamom and turbinado sugar gives the scone just the little bit of sweetness expected when biting into the crumbly pastry. The broad spectrum of ingredients ranging from sweet blueberries, ground cardamom, and a hint of tart lemon create a big flavor profile.

The Secret to Our Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Scones
We make our scones without the use of wheat flour, and they are 100% gluten-free. Over the years, we have found that wheat flour is our most common allergen among our guests. Instead of wheat flour, we use a store bought variety of gluten-free flour. We have tried several different gluten-free flours and landed on the perfect flour for our scone recipe. I would hesitate to recommend a certain type of gluten-free flour because they each have their own benefits; feel free to use the variety you prefer. You could even try making your own blend of flour!
The biggest challenge we face when using non-wheat flour is successfully creating the texture people expect with typical baked goods. If your palate is strong, some people can taste the flavor difference between wheat flour and gluten-free flour, but most people are more sensitive to the texture difference. Using baking soda, baking powder, adding air, and singing while you bake are all good ways to adjust the texture of your baked goods. We strongly suggest the singing part.
Our son Eli is a wonderful baker, and we are very fortunate to have him help us out by freshly baking our blueberry lemon scones each week in our Prairie Guest House kitchen. His consistency and attention to detail when baking have been wonderful. You may have seen him in our mid August 2026 social media post about our delicious scones. Thanks Eli!
A Delicious Part of Your Stay
Our gluten-free scones have become a favorite among guests, whether they typically eat gluten-free or simply enjoy a delicious homemade pastry with breakfast. Whenever I bite into one of the scones, I can almost hear my mom saying, "Eat over your plate." The crumby condition of these scones are simply part of the experience. But, yes, please eat over your plate…
If you're visiting Hamilton County, you may have the chance to taste one of these freshly baked scones during your stay at Prairie Guest House. I hope you will enjoy sharing our homemade scones with your friends and family. They must be good for you… they make you smile!
