blueberry scones

This was the first scone recipe I ever made, which I adapted from a non-vegan recipe I had saved for ages. Be sure to follow the order of directions. The dough will be thick. If you wait until the end to add the blueberries, it will be difficult to incorporate them, and you don't want the blueberries to get mashed in the process.

Blueberry Scones

1 cup flour
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
2 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. margarine*
1/4 cup "milk"
cinnamon sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees (400 if using a glass pan). Line baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with margarine (parchment paper works best for this).

Stir together the flour, sugar and baking powder. Stir in the blueberries. Add the oil and "milk" and mix until just combined. Divide dough into four portions on the baking sheet. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 12 minutes.

*If you don't have margarine on hand (or to make the mixing easier), you can omit the margarine and add another tablespoon of oil instead.
