Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the unsweetened almond milk with the apple cider vinegar and set aside for at least 5 minutes. This will create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the vegan butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the shredded vegan cheddar cheese, chopped chives, parsley, garlic powder, and ground black pepper to the flour mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the almond milk and vinegar mixture.
Using a spatula, gently mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free savory scones warm!
