Dairy Free Scones
These dairy free scones are as delicious as a traditional recipe. There's certainly no need to miss out if you're dairy free or vegan. And dairy free scones are even quicker and easier to make.
Equipment
- mixing bowl and spoon
- baking sheet
- kitchen scales
- pastry cutter or use a sturdy glass
Ingredients
- 200 g plain flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon castor sugar
- 40 ml olive oil
- 120 ml plant based milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 210 degrees (190 fan). Lightly grease a baking tray.
- Add the flour, sugar and baking powder to a bowl and stir to mix. Make a deep well in the centre.
- Add the olive oil and milk to the centre of the flour. Gently stir to incorporate the flour into the oil mix. The dough will start to come together easily.
- Tip the dough onto a floured worktop or pastry board. Using your hands, gently form the mixture into a ball and ensure all the ingredients are well mixed. Flatten into a circle about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut out the scones. Try not to twist the cutter as you'll distort the shape. You can re-roll the dough once or twice, but be gentle otherwise the scones will be tough.
- If desired, brush the tops of the scones with a little extra milk which will help them to turn a lovely golden brown.
- Transfer to the baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. If necessary, turn partway to ensure that they brown easily.
Notes
I made 12 scones with a 5cm cutter. Use a larger cutter if you prefer. Alternatively, you could cut the dough into triangles.
