Vegan Savory Scones Recipe

Prep

• Prep Time: 15 minutes 
• Serves 8
• Baking Time: 25 minutes at 400 F, cool 10 minutes
• Recommended Equipment: bowl, baking pan

Ingredients

4 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

¾ tsp salt

2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp garam masala

1 cup vegan cheddar shreds, chopped into 1/4” bits

½ jalapeño, chopped finely

½ cup Earth Balance vegan butter, frozen and chopped into small cubes

1¼ - 1½ cups unsweetened soy milk or other nut milk substitute

*Optional: fine cornmeal

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
2. Mix all dry ingredients together. 
3. Add butter, cheese, and jalapeño. Using your hands, mash the butter into the flour until it's evenly spread throughout.
4. Add 1 cup soymilk and mix it with your hands. Add 1/4 more into the dry mixture at the bottom of the bowl. Add more and repeat until you have a ball of dough that stays together but is not wet or sticky. 
5. Turn out onto a floured surface. Press to 3/4" thick circle. Using a circular pattern, cut out scones. We use a 2" diameter drinking glass to cut ours.
6. Sprinkle fine cornmeal or grease a baking sheet and place scones so they don't touch. 
7. Bake at 400 F for 20-25 minutes. 

Chef’s Tips:

For extra flavor, lightly toast the oregano and garam masala in a dry pan on low heat for a minute or two. Cool and add to the dry ingredients. Be mindful to not overmix the dough as that can make scones hard.
