Equipment
- Oven
- Baking tray
- Wire rack
- Large bowl
- Whisk
- Baking paper
- 6cm round cutter or glass
Ingredients
- 300 g self-raising flour
- 125 ml chilled sparkling lemonade
- 125 ml unsweetened soy yoghurt
- 50 g chilled solid coconut oil (grated or cubed)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Milk for brushing (vegan milk like oat or almond)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C (428°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
- Rub in the grated coconut oil with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the soy yoghurt and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms.
Gradually add the sparkling lemonade, just enough to bring the dough together without overmixing (it should be slightly sticky). - Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 5-6 times to form a smooth ball.
- Pat out the dough to a thickness of about 2cm.
Use a 6cm round cutter to stamp out scones, re-rolling scraps as needed. - Place scones on the prepared tray and brush tops with milk (optional, for a golden crust).
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. - Cool slightly on a wire rack, then devour warm with your favourite vegan jam and whipped cream!
Notes
- Don't overmix the dough!
A light touch is key to keeping the scones airy and fluffy. - Use chilled coconut oil and yogurt for the best results.
- Feeling adventurous? Add a handful of chopped fresh berries or a teaspoon of grated lemon zest to the dough.
- Leftover scones can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to revive them.
