Easy Vegan Savoury Scones With Fresh Herbs and Chilli
Imagine biting into a warm, fluffy scone, bursting with fresh herbs and a hint of chilli. These scones are not only vegan but also incredibly easy to make! Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is straightforward and requires minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (such as almond or soy)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (like chives or parsley), chopped
- 1 small red chilli, finely chopped (adjust to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the chilled vegan butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix the dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle, creating a vegan buttermilk.
- Pour the vegan buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped fresh herbs, red chilli, and garlic powder if using, until evenly distributed.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a couple of times until cohesive.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Use a knife or a round cutter to cut out scones and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Let them cool slightly on a wire rack, then serve warm. Enjoy your delicious vegan scones!
These scones are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days. They pair wonderfully with a spread of vegan butter or a dollop of your favorite plant-based cream. Happy baking!
