Makes: 10 Scones
Prep time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

500 g self-raising flour
50 g coconut sugar
2 tsp cinnamon powder
Pinch salt
110 g vegan butter, cold
70 g dried cranberries
80 g pecans, chopped
Orange zest
200 ml almond milk (plus extra for coating the scones)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2. Put the self-raising flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon powder and salt in a bowl. Stir well. Cut the cold vegan butter into cubes. Add to the bowl and crumble everything between your fingers until fine grains of dough form. Add the dried cranberries, chopped pecans and orange zest. Stir well. Now make a well in the center of the bowl with a spoon. Pour in the almond milk. Stir everything with a wooden spoon into a cohesive dough.
3. Dust your work surface with some flour. Place the dough on top of this and form a round ball with your hands. Press gently until the dough is 2-3 cm high. Cut out rounds of dough with a 6 cm cutter (see video). You will make about 10 scones. Place everything on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
4. Brush the scones with some oat milk. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Tip: Eat with some vegan butter or try our vegan Cream Cheese Frosting.

Baking scones ahead of time?
Scones are best when they come fresh out the oven. If you still want to prepare the scones and bake them later, this is also possible. Prepare the dough in advance and cut out scone shapes. Leave them in the fridge. When you bake them, brush them with some plant based milk and bake them in the oven. You can also store the unbaked scones in the freezer. When you need them, put the frozen scones on a baking tray and bake them. You may need to add a couple of minutes to the baking time.
