Who doesn’t love a good old classic scone with a cuppa?!? Throw in some vegan chocolate chips and bob’s ya aunty! Baking vegan sconces is a fun and easy process and a great activity for the kids. You can swap out chocolate for fruit or leave it out all together and have plain scones. So let’s get baking!
Vegan Choc Chip Scones
Servings 12 scones
Ingredients
- 3 cups plain flour 375g, plus extra
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup white sugar 60g
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup vegan butter or margarine 112g, cubed and cold
- 3/4 cup soy milk 205ml, plus more for brushing the tops
- 1 tbs white vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, together with a whisk
- Add cold cubed butter to flour and use either a pastry cutter or your hands to rub butter into flour until its flaky and crumbly. Try and do this step quickly so the butter doesn't heat up.
- Mix soy milk and vinegar together to make a vegan butter milk then stir in vanilla extract.
- Add milk to flour in thirds and gently mix together with hands until it becomes a dough. Don't over kneed it, only until it just comes together and they should still be dregs of flour around the edges.
- Add chocolate chips and gently combined. Don't over kneed the dough.
- Flour a clean surface and tip dough out onto the surface.
- Gently push dough into a flat circle around 1 inch thick.
- Using a 6CM cookie cutter, cut out scones and place on a greased baking tray. You can bake them separately for a crispy outside or together to retain more moisture.
- Place scones in fridge for 10 mins to chill. This will help the scones rise.
- Pre heat oven to 200C/392F and bake scones for 15-20 mins until the centres are light and fluffy.
