Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8 scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup vegan cheese, shredded
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- Add 1/2 cup of shredded vegan cheese to the flour mixture and stir until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of chopped spinach and 1/2 cup of chopped artichoke hearts. Ensure the vegetables are well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of almond milk and 1/4 cup of olive oil until fully blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Fold in the spinach and artichoke mixture into the dough until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges. Alternatively, you can use a round cutter for individual scones.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top.
- Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious vegan cheesy spinach and artichoke scones!
Tips
- Keep your ingredients cold: For the flakiest scones, ensure your vegan cheese and almond milk are well-chilled before mixing.
- Don't overwork the dough: Mix just until ingredients are combined to maintain a tender texture. Overmixing can lead to tough scones.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or nutritional yeast to the dry ingredients.
- If the dough feels too sticky, dust your hands with a little extra flour when shaping.
- Want a golden, glossy top? Brush the scones with a little extra almond milk before baking.
- These scones are best served warm, but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat briefly in the oven to restore their crisp exterior.
