Guest Chef Natalie Krawcyzk - Basic Scone Recipe

Ingredients:

-3 cups (450g) self-raising flour, sifted

-½ cup (110g) caster sugar

-100g cold vegan butter, chopped (I used nuttelex)

-1 ¼ cups (310ml) soymilk

(Note: I added an extra ½ tsp of baking powder to see if I can make them fluffier and I think it worked).

Method:

-Preheat oven to 180°C.

-Place the flour and sugar in a bowl and mix to combine.

-Add the vegan butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

-Make a well in the centre and pour in the soymilk.

-Use a butter knife to gradually mix the soymilk into the flour mixture until just combined.

-Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring the dough together.

-Roll out to 2cm thick and use a 5cm round cutter to cut out 14 rounds (I just cut 14 pieces and shaped them to make rustic scones).

-Place the scones close together on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
