Blueberry Scones

We’ve been enjoying The Crown at our house, I introduced my husband to crumpets, and I’ve been drinking lots of tea.  I guess we have a bit of a British theme going on here.

I was inspired to make some scones today, and I’m pretty proud about how they came out. Now that I’m feeling better I’m back in the kitchen, I also have a bit of a sweet tooth this pregnancy and have been gravitating towards baking.  We have lots of blueberries in our freezer so yesterday I cranked out some blueberry coconut pancakes and today I felt inspired to make some scones.

I love a good scone.  Apparently so does Soy Bean.

Ingredients

• 4 cups of flour
• 6 tablespoons of sugar
• 4.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 flax eggs
• 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons of cold vegan butter
• 1 cup of frozen blueberries
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 cup and 2 tablespoons plain almond milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

For the glaze

• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  First, make your flax eggs (three tablespoons of water and one tablespoon flaxseed meal = one egg) and set aside in a bowl.  In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients.  Take a fork and cut up the butter until your mixture resembles wet sand.  Whisk together 3/4 cup of milk and flax egg and add to the bowl.  Mix together and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of almond milk and lemon juice.  Fold in your blueberries.  On a well floured surface kneed your dough and flatten into an about 8 inch circle.  Cut your dough with a pizza cutter into eight triangles.  Place the individual triangles on a baking sheet.  I lined mine with aluminum foil lightly coated with flour.  Bake for 30 minutes.

Once your scones are baked and cooled, combine powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice and coconut oil to make a glaze.  Top your scones with the glaze, try to do a better job than I did.

I was pretty proud with how these came out. My husband and split one to taste test, he approved.  I think I will be looking forward to breakfast this week!  Enjoy!
