Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup vegan butter
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the vegan butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle slightly, creating a vegan buttermilk.
Add the vegan buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins and stir gently to incorporate evenly throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly until it comes together. Pat the dough into a round disc about 1-inch thick.
Use a sharp knife to divide the disc into 8 even wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your vegan raisin scones with some jam or a spread of your choice!
