Vegan Scones

Ingredients

For 8 portions

• 🌾 350g flour
• 🍚 15g baking powder
• 🍚 50g sugar
• 🧂 1 pinch salt
• 🧈 85g plant-based spread
• 🥛 170ml soy drink
• 🍋 20g lemon
• 🥄 1 Tsp vanilla extract
• 🥣 100g jam

Method

1. Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan) and put a baking tray in to heat.
2. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Rub in the cold spread until it looks like fine breadcrumbs.
3. Stir the juice of the lemon and the vanilla into 150 ml of the soy drink and leave for 2 minutes.
4. Make a well in the flour and pour in the soy drink. Mix quickly with a table knife until it just comes together. It should be soft and slightly sticky.
5. Turn out onto a floured surface and fold over a few times, without kneading. Pat out to 3 cm thick and cut 8 rounds with a 6 cm cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.
6. Lift onto the hot tray lined with baking paper and brush the tops with the remaining soy drink.
7. Bake for 11–13 minutes until risen and golden. Serve warm with the jam.
