SERVES 15
PREP TIME 15 MINUTES
COOKS TIME 12-15 MINUTES
DIFFICULTY MEDIUM
Ingredients
500g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
2 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
100g vegan butter or margarine
320ml plant-based milk
150g berries of choice e.g. raspberries, blueberries, blackberries
Optional glaze:
2 tbsp plant-based milk
Extra sugar
To serve:
50g melted white chocolate, yoghurt and jam
Method
1.
Preheat the oven to 200Fan/220*C and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
2.
Sift the plain flour into a large mixing bowl and stir in the sugar and baking powder. Add in the butter and use a knife to cut it into the flour into small pieces. Rub with your hands until it resembles a fine crumble.
3.
Gradually pour in the milk and stir with a spoon and then bring together with your hands. Carefully fold in the berries.
4.
Place the dough onto a floured work surface and shape into a large round, about 2cm thick. Use a cutter (about 6cm diameter) to carefully cut out the scones and transfer to the lined baking tray. Bring the leftover dough pieces together into a ball, flatten and continue to cut out scones.
5.
Brush the top of the scones with the milk (be careful to not cover the sides with milk) and sprinkle over some sugar.
6.
Bake the scones for 12-15 minutes until golden and risen. Allow to cool on a wire rack and drizzle with the white chocolate. Serve with yoghurt and jam.
