Vegan Scones (with vegan cream and homemade jam!)

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 35 mins | Quantity: 9 scones

Ingredients

Scones:

  • 2 + 1/3 cups (350g) self raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 6 tblsp (95g) vegan butter – roughly diced
  • 1/4 cup (45g / 3 tblsp) golden caster sugar
  • 2/3 cup (150ml) unsweetened almond milk (or sub with soy or oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup (80g) sultanas

Topping:

  • 1-2 tblsp unsweetened almond milk (or sub with soy or oat milk)
  • 1 tblsp demerara sugar

To serve:

  • Jam and vegan cream

Cookie cutters

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 Fan / 220 C / 425 F / Gas 7 and line a large tray with greaseproof or a silicon mat
  2. Put the flour, baking powder and diced butter into a large bowl and using the tips of your fingers rub the butter into the flour until no lumps of butter remain and the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs
  3. Stir in the sugar and sultanas then add the milk - don't add all the milk at once, just enough to make a soft but not overly sticky dough. Mix just enough to bring the dough together, don't over-knead it
  4. Lightly dust your worksurface with a little extra flour then roll out the dough until it's about 2 1/2 cm (1 inch) thick
  5. Using a 2.5 inch (6 cm) cutter firmly cut out as many circles as you can. When cutting don't twist the cutter, this is what causes lop sided scones! If the dough is sticking to the cutter, dip it in flour
  6. Gently bring together any trimmings into a ball then re-roll, cutting out more circles. Repeat until you've used all the dough
  7. Place the cut scones onto your prepared tray
  8. Brush each scone with the extra milk then sprinkle on the demerara sugar
  9. Bake for 15 minutes until set and golden on top
  10. Leave to cool before splitting in half and serving with jam and whipped vegan cream
