This recipe came from a lack of ingredients in the house and a passion for baking.

I have always thought that scones were extremely difficult to make but this recipe is so easy that it is one that I will keep in the directory. I got the recipe from here, but I made it vegan. On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

Vegan cranberry scones

Ingredients

• 3 cups self raising flour

• 1/3 cup vegan butter

• 1 cup coconut milk (non-diary milk)

• 1 pack of dried cranberries (I used oceanspray craisins)

• Icing sugar (optional)

• 1 lemon (optional)

Method

• Preheat oven 200ºc, baking tray lined with baking paper

• In a mixing bowl put flour and butter and mix until it looks like fine breadcrumbs

• Make a hole in the middle of the mixture and pour the milk slowly whilst stirring.

• Needs to form a dough that is not too wet or dry.

• Add a bag of dried cranberry or craisins and mix well into the dough

• Put the dough on a floured surface and roll so the it’s 2cm thick

• Cut into the shapes you want. I like triangles and circles

• Place into oven for 15-20 minutes

• Squeeze lemon juice in a bowl and add in icing sugar, mixing until the consistency is thick but droopy.

• Place icing on to the scones when they are completely cooled.

• Enjoy warm or cold, which butter, jam, plain or any topping!
