Yield 8 scones

ingredients
 

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ cup vegan butter
  • ¾ cup full-fat soy milk, plus extra to brush
  • ½ cup vegan cheese - (coarsely grated)
  • 1 small zucchini - (coarsely grated)

instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and sugar.
  • Cut the butter into small cubes and quickly work it into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal.
  • Pour in the milk and stir well. Slowly fold in the grated cheddar and zucchini, and lightly knead until combined.
  • Place the dough onto a clean, floured work surface and shape the dough with your hands into an 8-inch circle. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into eight wedges (like a pizza), and carefully transfer them onto the prepared pan. Lightly brush the scones with milk.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Serve right away.

notes

  • Vegan butter - to make these scones vegan use vegan butter. Vegetable shortening works just as well, but keep in mind that shortening is not necessarily vegan.
  • Milk - use full-fat plant-based milk. I find that full-fat soy milk yields the best results. The higher fat content makes a difference in the flavour and texture of these scones.
  • Vegan cheese, cheddar flavoured if possible - use your favourite brand of vegan cheese.
