Plump juicy blueberries in a soft, tender dough make these Lemon Blueberry Scones impossible to resist. But it doesn't stop there! Top it off with a rich cream cheese glaze and I bet you’ll be hard-pressed to eat just one.
½cupcold unsalted vegan butter115 g, cut into cubes*
¾cupcanned coconut milk*
2teaspoonvanilla extract
1cupfresh blueberries
Icing
¼cupvegan cream cheese
4-5tablespoonpowdered sugar
1tablespoonfresh lemon juicethe juice from the lemon that we zested above
½teaspoonvanilla
1pinchsalt
Instructions
To a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and lemon zest and mix those well.
Next, add in the cold butter that you've cut into cubes and use your fingers to mix the butter with the flour mixture. You don't have to break up all of the clumps! It's good to have some clumps of butter that melt as the scones bake.
Add in the blueberries and coconut milk and combine them with the rest of the ingredients.
Flour a surface, and dump the scones mixture on top. Use your hands to shape the mixture into a circle that's about 2 inches thick in height.
Cut the circle into 8 equal pieces and place each on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush coconut milk on each of the scones then bake for 18-20 minutes at 400F, until they are golden on top.
While the scones are baking, whisk up the icing ingredients. Once the scones are done baking and *fully* cooling, drizzle the icing on top and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure that the butter is very cold. I even like to place mine in the freezer for about an hour before making this recipe.Use canned coconut milk as opposed to regular dairy-free milk as this gives a thicker consistency and acts as our heavy cream replacement.
