Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegan butter cold or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
To finish
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
- coconut cream
Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until everything is well integrated.
- Cut the butter into small pieces or grate it with a vegetable grater. Add it to the powders and, with your hands, integrate it gradually. It should be the consistency of wet sand.
- Add the coconut cream and vanilla and integrate all the ingredients very carefully not to mix over. Add the chocolate chips and mix.
- On a tray lined with baking paper, empty the mixture and form a large disk about 8 inches in size. Varnish with coconut milk and sprinkle the sugar on top. Cut into several pieces and separate them so that they are in the form of triangles.
- Bake for about 20-25 min. in a 300ºF oven. Until a toothpick comes out clean and the sugar on top begins to brown.
Notes
- Use good chocolate. I use dark chocolate with more than 50% cocoa; it makes a difference.
- HOW TO GRATE BUTTER. The trick to grating is super cold, almost frozen butter. I use vegan butter; if you can't find or don't use it, you can also use coconut oil in its solid state.
- How do you store and freeze scones? You can freeze them before baking them or after baking. If you freeze them raw, shape them into triangles and put them on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and transfer it to a bag when frozen. That way, you can bake them individually.
To bake, let them sit on the countertop for 10 minutes and then bake from 10-12 at 300ºF.
