The secret to moist and tender scones

There are a few secrets to baking the most delicious, soft, and tender scones:

How to make peach scones

Start by whisking the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut the cold vegan butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands. The finished result should look like coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and vanilla until it turns into a shaggy dough. Fold in the diced peaches and candied ginger, if using. Knead the scone dough on a lightly floured surface until it all comes together. Flatten it out into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges. Place each wedge on a lined baking sheet and bake until they’re lightly golden brown on top. While the scones cool, make the vanilla glaze by whisking the powdered sugar, soy milk, and vanilla together in a small bowl. Drizzle some glaze over the cooled scones, then serve!

Do you have to chill the dough?

Chilling the dough in the fridge before baking isn’t required for this recipe. If it’s an especially hot day or you’re worried about keeping the butter cold, feel free to form the scone wedges and place them in the fridge while the oven pre-heats.
