Easy Vegan Spiced Buns
These simple little buns are perfectly spiced and are a cross between a scone or rock cake and a toasted tea cake.

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Electric Hand Whisk

Ingredients

  • cups Plain Flour
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Cloves - powdered
  • ¼ tsp Ginger - powdered
  • ¼ cup White Sugar
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Shortening - I used Trex
  • 1 tbsp Egg Replacer - whisked up with 3 tbsp water
  • 1 cup Yogurt - vegan, plain
  • ½ cup Sultanas
  • Sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170c.
  • Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
  • Add the egg replacer, water, brown sugar, yogurt and shortening and, using an electric hand whisk, blend well until you have a thick, sticky dough
  • Fold in the sultanas using a spatula
  • Using an ice cream scoop, drop dollops of the mixture onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Make sure they are a couple of inches apart as they will spread during cooking.
  • Sprinkle the buns with a little white sugar.
  • Bake for between 15-25 mins, depending on the size. They will feel dry to the touch on top, and the sugar will have formed a little crust.
  • Once baked, place on a cooling rack and serve.

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