Ingredients

Buttermilk

¾ cups soy milk
1 tbsp lemon juice

Scones

2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup whole wheat self-rising flour
¼ tsp sea salt flakes
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp coconut sugar or any other sugar you like
½ cup vegan butter crumbled
1 tsp vanilla extract

"Egg wash"

2 tbsp soy milk
1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 410 °F.
Combine the milk and lemon juice. Allow to set for 5 minutes to make vegan buttermilk.
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and coconut sugar.
Add the butter and mix with your hands until you get a crumbly texture. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir just to combine, but do not overmix.
Sprinkle some flour on a clean surface and transfer the dough. Flatten the dough to be approximately 2 to 3 cm high. Using a cookie cutter or jar, cut as many scones as you can. Reshape what is left of the dough and repeat until none is left.
Combine the soy milk and maple syrup to make an 'egg wash' and lightly brush the top (not the sides) of each scone.
Transfer to a baking tray (lined with baking paper), keep the scones close to each other in the middle on the baking tray and cook in the oven for 12 minutes, until golden. Enjoy!

Notes

Oven temperatures: This recipe was tested in a convection (fan-forced) oven, which circulates hot air so it bakes faster and more evenly. If you’re using a conventional (non-fan) oven, you can try increasing the temperature by about 35°F (20°C), baking on the middle rack, and rotating the tray halfway through. Every oven behaves a little differently, so results may vary. Start checking a few minutes before the suggested time and trust your eye: they may need a little longer to turn golden.
