How to make vegan strawberry and cream scones
Find the complete recipe with measurements in the recipe card below. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl. Cut in the cold vegan butter with a pastry cutter until the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir in the vegan cream (or milk) and vanilla until the dough is shaggy. Finish by gently folding in the strawberries. The dough will be a bit wet at this point but that’s okay! If the strawberries are hard to incorporate, use your hands to work them into the dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it comes together. Use your hands to flatten the dough into a circle, about 1-inch thick. Tip: Lightly flour your hands to prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers. Cut the dough into 8 pieces and place each piece onto a lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet with the scone dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. Bake the vegan strawberry scones until they’re lightly golden brown on top. Set them aside to cool. Meanwhile, make the vanilla glaze by whisking the sugar, cream, and vanilla together in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the scones once they’re completely cooled, then enjoy! Instead of the glaze, feel free to decorate the scones with turbinado sugar, strawberry jam, or vegan whipped cream.
