Description

Ingredients

• 475g self-raising flour
• 70g caster sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 75g vegan buttery spread (I used Vitalite)
• 240ml almond milk (or other dairy-free milk) + extra for glazing
• (optional) handful of dried fruit to make fruit scones
• 50g vegan butter (I used Vitalite)
• 75gicing sugar, sifted
• 4-6 tbsp coconut cream - If you cant find coconut cream, use a chilled can of coconut milk and scoop the fat from the top

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 200c / 390f and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt.
• Add the vegan butter in a tsp at a time and use your fingers to rub it into the flour. Alternatively, use a food processor or stand mixer.
• When the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture resembles a dense sand, slowly add the milk and mix until it forms a soft dough.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and kneed briefly. Add the dried fruit at this point, if using. Flatten into a ¾ inch thick dough and cut out the scones using a small cookie cutter or upside down glass. Transfer the scones to the baking sheet and brush with a small amount of almond milk.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
• Enjoy warm from the oven with some vegan butter & jam or cooled with some vegan clotted cream! (See recipe below)
• Use an electric whisk or stand mixer to mix together the vegan butter and icing sugar, creating a buttercream.
• Keep whisking, adding the coconut cream in a little bit at a time until it resembles a light fluffy cream and youre pleased with the taste (you may want to add more coconut cream to make it less sweet.)
• Use right away or chill in the fridge. Can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days, covered in cling film.
