Vegan Scones

Preheat oven to 400F.

Sift the dry ingredients together, then cut in vegan butter or margarine. Make a well in the dry ingredients. If desired, you can blend tofu with a mixer or blender until it’s smooth in consistency. Pour blended tofu or entire block in the middle of the dry ingredients. Mix gently to obtain a soft elastic dough.

Turn onto a floured surface and roll to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into small rounds with a biscuit or cookie cutter (1-1/2 inches recommended). Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. (In my oven, 12 minutes is perfect.) Serve warm with butter or jam.

My recommendations:

1. Use any combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour.
2. You can also add 1 tablespoon herbs or 1 cup baking chips to the dry ingredients.
3. If using a “sweet” flavor (chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, etc.) add 1/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
4. My favorite herb combos are dill weed with sea salt and fresh ground pepper, or an “Italian blend” of rosemary, basil, oregano, and marjoram.
