Eggless Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (195-200 degrees C).
• Mix with a whisk in a big bowl the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
• Cut in butter with a butter knife in each hand until mix looks like coarse crumbs.
• Pour in cream and fold in everything until just incorporated. Do NOT overmix.
• If mixture seems a little dry, add a little more cream.
• Fold currants or cranberries into batter.
• Press the dough in 3 or 4 batches on lightly floured board 1 1/4-inch (3cm) thick. Cut into triangles. All in all about 8-16 scones, depending on size (enough for 4 hungry mouths).
• Place scones on ungreased cookie parchment. Brush tops with a bit of cream.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Whisk, or sift the dry ingredients.
• Cut the butter into the flour, with a pastry blender, until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in the milk. Add any optional ingredients, if desired.
• On a floured surface, lightly knead the dough 5-10 times.
• Place on a greased, or parchment lined, baking sheet. Flatten gently to a 1" thick round.
• Cut, like a pie, into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
• Brush the top with about 1 tablespoon milk. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
• Bake 400 degrees, 12 -15 minutes, until golden brown.

Steps:

• Sieve the flour with the baking powder in a bowl and keep aside.
• Now, use a wooden spoon to soften the butter and combine the same with the sugar until they are thoroughly mixed.
• Stir in the cinnamon, vanilla bean and lemon zest.
• Now, fold in the flour.
• Once this is half mixed, add the cream and continue to mix the dough until it is all combined and holds together.
• Mix in the raisins.
• Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 inch.
• Use a cutter to cut 10 round scones from it.
• Place the scones on a greased baking tray.
• Allow them to rest, covered, in a refrigerator, overnight.
• Bake the scones (cold as they are from the refrigerator) in a pre-heated oven at 180C for 20-25 minutes or until golden and done.
• Serve warm with fresh Devonshire cream and strawberry jam.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a bowl. Rub in the vegetable spread until you have fine breadcrumbs. You can also gradually pulse it in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Gradually stir the milk into the flour mixture until you have a smooth dough.
• Lightly dust your surface with flour and gently roll out the scone dough until 2cm thick. Transfer onto a baking tray lined with parchment and put it in the fridge for 30 mins to firm up.
• Remove the dough from the fridge and using a 7cm cutter, cut out the scones. Put them, top side down, onto another baking sheet lined with paper, leaving a 2cm gap between each one. This gives the scones an even top. Brush with the extra milk, making sure that it doesn't drip onto the sides (otherwise they will rise unevenly). Put the scones in the freezer for 15 mins. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Remove from the freezer and bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown. Serve with jam and vegan cream, if you like.
