Eliminate an extra step & extra mess by scooping the biscuit dough instead of rolling it out! Scooped you will get 12 & for the 3" Small biscuit cut outs you will get 10 & the large triangle bakery style scones you will get 6

Ingredients
  

For the Scones

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour 250g
  • 1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 5 Tbs Cold Vegan Butter 70g
  • ¾ cup Plant milk 177ml
  • 2 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar 10ml
  • cups Vegan Cheddar Shreds
  • 4 Tbs Fresh Chopped Dill

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F
  • First combine the plant milk with the vinegar ~ let stand for 5 minutes to thicken
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar & salt and mix well.
  • Add the grated COLD vegan butter (or small diced if you do not have a box grater) then mix by hand incorporating the butter throughout the flour until it resembles course meal.
  • Add the cheddar & dill & toss by hand to distribute evenly throughout
  • Add the plant milk & mix gently by hand just until it is all absorbed & forms a sticky dough
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface & gently fold it over a couple times so it is no longer super sticky then press it out to a disc approximately 8" in diameter & cut it into 6 equal pieces like a pizza for traditional large bakery sized biscuits or cut out with a 3" cutter (or for smaller biscuits just scoop the dough straight out of the bowl with a 2 ounce scoop, no need to roll out!)
  • Place on a parchment paper lined sheet pan spaced 2" apart & brush with that additional Tbs of melted vegan butter *optional
  • Bake immediately in a preheated 400°F oven for approximately 20 minutes for the smaller scooped or 3" cut out biscuits & closer to 30-35 minutes for the large triangle sized biscuits ~ or until golden brown & baked through.

Notes

Be sure to read all the notes for success section above this recipe 
Storage Scones will go stale before they go bad so it is best to keep them wrapped airtight at room temperature for up to 4 days. Freeze for longer storage wrapped well for 1 month
