hehe these turned out really good! I was overcome w the urge to make scones after reading this drarry fanfic wherein they were constantly having scones & tea!! and thus, my tea-drinking habits have been reignited too…
these freeze well btw
notes 4 next time: flavor variations to try include blueberry, mango, cocoa, peach, raisin, dried mango, blackberry (^O^!!), ginger, instant coffee, oolong, jasmine green tea

The standard recipe is for lemon strawberry scones but see the notes below for all the variations I’ve tried.
1) To Big Bowl, add and mix:
– 322 g APF (or oat flour or pastry flour)
– 40 g cane sugar
– 10 g baking powder
– 1 g salt
2) Then, slowly add & mix:
– 40 g melted coconut oil (or melted palm fruit shortening)
3) Add & mix to form dough:
– 150 g oat milk/soy milk (or water is gud too)
– 10 g lemon juice
4) Fold in:
– 44 g diced strawberries (or plums or lemon pulp/zest) (you can add a lot of fruit but then u have to use less water in step #3)
5) Mix to form dough (my dough felt too wet & not solid enough but baked up great so dw if urs is feeling floppy too). Turn onto surface and form into ball. Slice into 8 parts (halve, then halve, then halve). Oil a baking sheet and place.
6) Bake at 240 C/460 F for 13 min.
(cover w aluminum foil for 10 + uncover for 3 min so tops don’t brown)
7) Cool for 10 min on something ventilated
8) Whisk & drizzle:
– 20 g lemon pulp (uhh basically this one time I had a shit ton of lemons from the FoodCommune and after I juiced them, I blended them up & froze them so I had these cubes of lemon pulp/zest. they were perfect for this drizzle!!! you can omit if you don’t have lemons on hand tho 😉
– 5 g lemon juice
– 60 g powdered sugar
9) consume…. become british…..
9/11/2023 using a lot of fruit: guys this is actually crazy. I think I’ve made over 100 scones in the last week…
anyways. fully using water instead of oat milk is totes good. I used 100 g strawberries instead of 44 g strawbs and the dough turned out too sloppy so use less water in step #3 if you’re planning on adding a bunch of fruit. I might revise the actual recipe so more fruit is used & less water.
also, to have the tops be golden instead of brown, bake w a piece of aluminum foil resting on top for 10 min then for 3 min uncovered 😉
9/8/2023 GF Plum: substituted 322 g oat flour for the 322 g APF. substituted 40 g palm fruit shortening (melted in microwave) for 40 g coconut oil. substituted 44 g diced fresh plum for 44 g strawberries. turned out great!! (ahhh… I love making gf vegan pastries bc the dough is totes edible!!! :D)
9/8/2023 #2 Lemon Zest: substituted 158 g APF + remaining g pastry flour instead of all APF. substituted 60 g oat milk + 100 g water instead of 150 g oat milk cuz I’m cheap hehe. substituted 10 g defrosted frozen lemon pulp instead of 10 g lemon juice
*revised recipe to include tested substitutions and to make it so that fruit was added at very end to dough (to avoid them getting in the way when mixing dough)
9/21/2023 GF Banana Chocolate: 322 g oat flour. revised recipe to add soy milk. used equal amount soy milk. substituted 124 g super-ripe banana + 25 g dark chocolate chips for 44 g strawberries
9/22/2023 GF Coconut Papaya: oat flour. soy milk. omit lemon juice. 20 g dry shredded coconut + 60 g diced fresh papaya. (hmmm I was a little concerned bc this dough turned out a lot more firm than my usual very sloppy dough. I was also worried the proper rxn wouldn’t occur without the lemon juice but they turned out great!).
for the 2nd batch of these, I drizzled lime juice on top before baking
9/22/23 #2 Parsley & Facon: pastry flour. only 10 g cane sugar. 2 g salt. soy milk. omit lemon juice. 24 g chopped fresh parsley + 2 g facon from Louisville. (this dough also came out not sloppy at all & formed a firm ball. ig the lemon juice + fruit moisture makes all the difference). they came out great! next time, add nutritional yeast too.
9/24/2023 Strawberry Banana: 340 g pastry flour. 120 g mashed extremely ripe banana + 100 g diced strawberries. baked for 7 minutes covered and then 8 minutes uncovered (they needed more time bc of all the extra moisture from the fruit). yum!!
10/9/2023 Yellow Plum: got a ton of yellow plums from Food Commune this week so yk what I had to do!!! scone-ification… sub whole wheat pastry flour for APF. no lemon j. sub water for oat milk. sub 100 g diced yellow plums for strawberries.
10/13/2023 Orange Vanilla: sub whole wheat pastry flour for APF. sub 3 g vanilla extract for lemon j. sub 150 g water for plant milk. sub 100 g chopped orange slices + 3 g orange zest for strawbs. very delish.
