How to make your scones;

1.       Pre-heat your oven to 160°c and place a sheet of baking paper on your baking tray

2.       Add all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl, flour, sugar, baking powder and vanilla, and roughly mix together

3.       Add the vegan butter and use your fingers to crumble everything together into a breadcrumb texture

4.       Add the dates and walnuts and roughly mix through

5.       Add the plant milk and bring the dough together in a large, soft ball

6.       Lightly flour your worktop and split your dough into two even balls

7.       Use your hands to roughly shape each ball into a thick disk, about 1”-1.5” thick

8.       Use a knife to cut each disk into six triangles, so that you have 12 scones altogether and place them on the baking tray

9.       Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.  You can also check if they are baked by tapping them underneath, they want to feel firm and hollow sounding

10.       Leave to cool then eat and enjoy!
