Light and Fluffy Vegan Lemon Scones

the80srule's Note:

Feel free to add some dried fruit, baking chips, or chopped nuts. Almond and coconut milks also make nice vegan smoothers for scones.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8-12

Yield: 8.0 scones

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat pastry flour for soft scones)
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup sunflower oil
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened soymilk
• 2 teaspoons lemon extract

Directions:

1. Sift all the dry ingredients together in a bowl, and the wet ingredients in another.
2. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mix well but do not overmix-- it's okay if it's a little dry, but add some more soymilk if mix is still left.
3. Roll out pieces of the dough onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper, you'll get about 8-12 scones.
4. Bake at 400F for about 15 minutes or until the tops are firm.

Just made these today. Awesome recipe! I used almond milk instead of soy and made 1/2 with lemon and half with almond & vanilla flavors. Thanks for sharing!!
