Substitutions

I don't recommend substitutions when it comes to baking. One simple change can change the whole recipe. Try any substitutions at your own risk and leave a comment down below if they worked out or not!

Tips & Tricks

Measure your ingredients properly! Flour is often measured wrong. Measure your flour by fluffing the flour then spooning it in to a measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife. Never scoop directly in to the bag and pack in the flour. This will result in WAY too much flour and your scones will be very dry.

Work fast and make sure your butter is very cold!

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Whisk together the all purpose flour (see above on how to measure flour properly), granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk together the unsweetened plant milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
• Add the cold vegan butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter in to the flour. It should resemble coarse crumbs.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry and toss in the chocolate chips as well. Use a spatula to bring the dough to together. Lightly flour a clean surface and carefully knead the dough to bring it together. Do this fast to avoid the butter melting.
• Roll out the dough in to a 5x9 rectangle. Cut in to 8 rectangles and place on a parchment lined baking tray.
• Bake for 20-22 minutes or until lightly brown on top. Let cool.
• Make the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, espresso powder and plant milk. Drizzle over scones and enjoy!

Notes

Wrap leftovers in cling wrap and freeze. Reheat at 350F for a few minutes until no longer frozen.
