Why This Recipe Works

This recipe makes use of a easy pastry making technique of reducing vegan butter into dry elements to provide our scones a wonderfully comfortable, crumbly texture. This can be a fairly customary technique of scone making, simply utilizing vegan elements.

However to take our texture excessive, we’re including coconut milk. It is the right substitute for the heavy cream you may discover in lots of standard scone recipes, and it is loaded with fats, which provides us tremendous moist scones. Coconut milk does not at all times work in baked items (which you’ll be able to examine in my information to dairy-free milks). However when it does, the outcomes are superb.

The whole lot will get topped off with a tangy lemon glaze that completely compliments the sweetness of our recent blueberries.

Components You may Want

Lemon zest.
Vanilla extract.
Flour. We’re utilizing all-purpose flour. When you want another choice, spelt flour or entire wheat pastry flour are typically protected bets. I am undecided how the scones will end up with anything.
Sugar. Use natural sugar to maintain the recipe vegan. Typical sugar could also be processed utilizing animal bone char.
Baking powder.
Cinnamon.
Salt.
Vegan butter. You could find this close to the common butter at most supermarkets. Search for manufacturers like Earth Stability and Miyoko’s.
Blueberries. Ideally you may wish to use recent berries, however frozen will do exactly wonderful when recent aren’t in season.
Powdered sugar. That is for our lemon icing. Make certain it is natural. Skip it in the event you favor plain scones.
