Ingredients

  • 0.5 Vanilla bean
  • 50 g cold butter
  • 4 tbsp Honey
  • 1 organic lemon (zest)
  • a pinch salt
  • a pinch cinnamon
  • 240 g spelt flour type 1050
  • 1 packet baking powder
  • 70 ml soy drink (soy milk) or oat drink or another plant-based drink + 1 tbsp plant drink for brushing
  • 40 g cranberries (sweetened with juice)
  • 30 g chopped almonds (2 tbsp)
  • 15 g flaked almonds (1 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a knife. Mix butter with honey, vanilla seeds, lemon zest, salt, cinnamon, 225 g flour and baking powder. Gradually add plant drink and work into a smooth dough. Fold in cranberries and chopped almonds.

  2. 2.

    Roll the dough on a floured surface to about 2.5 cm thickness. Cut out circles with a cookie cutter or a glass of about 7 cm diameter. Place dough rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with a little plant drink and sprinkle with almond flakes. Bake the scones in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan; gas: level 3) for 15 minutes until golden brown.
