Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups + 1 tsp Self-raising flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Mustard - Dijon is great
  • 2 tbsp Chives - fresh, chopped
  • ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Margarine - or vegan butter, very cold
  • 1¼ cups Vegan cheese - grated. (I like to use a mixture of blue and cheddar-style), plus a little extra for grating on top
  • ¼ cup Yogurt - vegan, unsweetened
  • ¼ pint Soy Milk - unsweetened
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 220c
  • Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper, or lightly grease a non-stick sheet.
  • Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
  • Using a gentle rubbing motion between your fingertips, rub the margarine into the flour until you have a sandy texture. Work quickly and lightly so as not to melt the margarine.
  • Stir in the cheese and chives very gently.
  • In a jug, mix together the yogurt, mustard and milk.
  • Pour this into your dry mixture, and using a knife, cut into the mixture until it starts to form a crumbly dough.
  • If you find your dough is still very crumbly and will not come together, add a little cold water, a half teaspoon at a time.
  • Once the dough starts to form, turn out onto a floured surface.
  • Roll it gently into a round, about an inch deep.
  • Cut out rounds using a pastry cutter or even, as my grandma used to use, a glass! You may need to push the dough together to get 6 scones out of the mixture.
  • Place on your prepared baking sheet and brush with some soy milk. Sprinkle with a little grated cheese.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until risen and lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy warm and spread with some vegan butter!

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
