Ingredients

  • 3 cups self raising flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 60 grams dairy free butter
  • 1 ¼ cups plant-based milk plus extra to brush scones before baking

To serve;

  • Strawberry jam
  • Whipped coconut cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour and salt together.
  • Add the dairy-free butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Make a well in the centre of the mixture and gradually pour in the plant-based milk. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently stir the mixture until it starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough scones.
  • Once the dough has formed, transfer it onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough for 30 seconds until the dough JUST comes together. It’s really important not to over-knead, as this can make the scones dense.
  • Gently press out the dough using your hands to a thickness of approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch). Use a lightly floured round cookie cutter to cut out scones from the dough. Place the scones onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between them. Brush the tops of the scones with some extra plant-based milk.
  • Bake the scones in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they have risen and turned golden brown. Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  • To serve, split the scones in half horizontally. Spread a dollop of strawberry jam onto each half, followed by a generous amount of whipped coconut cream. Serve open as is, or if you prefer you can place the top half of each scone back onto the cream-covered bottom half, creating a sandwich.

Notes

Make sure your dairy free butter is cold from the fridge.
Don’t have self-raising flour? You can make your own by adding 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder per 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your scones.
