Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup almond milk unsweetened type
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ½ cup dairy-free salted butter softened
  • ½ cup organic cane sugar
  • 2 large eggs used in 2 parts (for dough, and for egg wash)
  • 2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour I use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.35 ounces earl grey tea leaves ground fine if necessary, 10 gram
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 380°F/ 193°C.
  • Make vegan buttermilk. Combine the almond milk and lemon juice in a cup and set aside. It starts to curdle slightly in a couple of minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the softened butter and sugar together.
  • Add in ONE egg and whisk well.
  • Add the all purpose flour, baking powder, ground earl grey tea leaves, and vanilla. Mix until just combined. (Dough will be crumbly)
  • Add in the milk + lemon mix from step 1. Mix until well combined. If the dough is too soft for shaping, let sit in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
  • Line a cutting board with plastic wrap, or lightly flour the surface. Place the dough in the middle and flatten to an 8 inch disc shape.
  • Cut the disc into 8 triangle wedges and transfer to a lined baking sheet pan.
  • Beat the remaining egg and brush the egg wash over each scone.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes until the edges look crispy and top browns slightly. Let cool for at least 30 minutes. They firm up as they cool.
