Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp flax meal
  • 3 tbsp warm water
  • 3/4 cup soy milk
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour plus maybe 2 tbsp more as you work and shape the dough
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup vegan margarine I used vegan Becel
  • a hefty pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup chives chopped into 1 cm pieces (1/2 inch)
  • 1 cup vegan cheddar I used Daiya

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF (if your oven runs hot, bring it down to 375ºF)
  2. In a small bowl, combine flax meal and water and let thicken.
  3. In another small bowl, combine soy milk and vinegar and let curdle to make vegan buttermilk.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and stir until combined. Using a pastry knife (or just rub in with your fingers), cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse sand.
  5. Stir in the flax mixture and vegan buttermilk. Gently knead together dough until all flour is incorporated.
  6. Fold in the chives and vegan cheddar, then shape into a thick, round disc (see the video if you want to know how big) and cut into 6-8 wedges (depending on how you like the shape).
  7. Bake for 25-30 min at 400ºF (if your oven runs hot, bring it down to 375ºF) until you have golden edges on your scones.
  8. Remove from oven, let cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
