These ‘cheesy’ scones are perfect for a light lunch to to make and share with family and friends. Served with a delicious chutney - we love our beetroot chutney or a simple slather of vegan spread.

The ‘cheesy flavour comes from the nutritional yeast and the scones are made using wholemeal flour and no fat what-so-ever. They are not as light and fluffy as non-vegan scones but they are still delicious, healthy and very easy to make. If you’d prefer a lighter scone then you an use self-raising flour, I however like the healthy, earthy taste of the spelt, you decide. I hope you enjoy them too, and I’d really recommend making the chutney too, it’s my mums recipe and so yummy

Ingredients

250ml plant milk

1 tsp applecider vinegar

300g spelt wholemeal flour

3 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp mustard

3 sprigs thyme - just the leaves and not the stalks (use a tsp of dried if you don’t have fresh)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180C and pop some baking paper on a baking tray

  • Add the apple cider vinegar to the plant milk and leave it to one side to curdle and turn to ‘soured milk’

  • Add the rest of the ingredients to a large bowl and mix to combine

  • Add most pf the soured plant milk mix and work together to form a ball, adding more if it’s a little dry (you probably won’t need all of it.

  • Once you have a ball pop it onto a floured surface and roll to a thickness of around 2 1/2 cm.

  • Using a round cutter cut out rounds (re-rolling the left overs) the amount you have will depend on the size of the cutter you use.

Top Tip - if you don’t have a cookie cutter use the top of a glass to cut out your rounds

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are beginning to brown

  • Enjoy with chutney
