Cost: £2 per batch*
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon or Spatula
- Measuring Jug
- Baking Tray with Liner
Ingredients
- 225 g Self Raising Flour
- 25 g Dairy Free Baking Block or Vegan Butter Pure Dairyfree, Vitalite
- 25 g Granulated sugar
- 50 g Dairy Free White Chocolate Chips or Chunks Sainsburys
- 75 g Blackberries Fresh or Frozen
- 130 ml Dairy Free, Milk Alternative Koko Unsweetened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with a silicone liner or a light dusting of flour.
- Weigh the flour into a mixing bowl and give it a little whisk (or you can sieve it!)
- Next add the dairy free margarine to the flour mixture and rub together with your fingertips until you have a breadcrumb like mixture. I find the best scones are made with coarser breadcrumb sized pieces than fine ones.
- Next add the sugar, blackberries and white chocolate chips before gently stirring. Coating the blackberries completely will help keep your dough white rather than pink!
- In a separate jug measure out the dairy free milk and add to the dry ingredients
- Now for the messy bit – either use a spoon or flour your hands and get them in there – its up to you! Gently stir together all the ingredients until a soft dough is formed. Turn out onto a floured board and gently knead in more flour if its very sticky.
- Roll or squash the dough out until about 4 inches think before and using a floured straight sided cutter to cut out your scones. If you have to re-roll, do it gently or you will end up with slightly rubbery, dense scones... and that is just not nice!
- Spread out on a floured baking tray and bake for around 30mins.
- LEAVE THEM TO COOL SLIGHTLY BEFORE EATING!! The fruit will be very very hot! :)
Notes
*That includes the cost of buying fresh blackberries while they are in season. If you grow your own, forage some or use frozen the scones work out even cheaper!
** check the scones from about 25mins onwards as cooking time will vary with thickness of scones.
