Vegan 'Cheese' Scones

I haven't had scones in such a long time I felt compelled to try and veganise some today! The addition of nooch (nutritional yeast!) definitely made it taste more realistic. 

I've written the measurements that I normally use to make enough to last me a few days, but if there's more of you in the house that like them then feel free to double the recipe! This made 9 medium scones (made using a ~5cm diameter cutter) and took around 40 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

• 225g Self-Raising flour (or 225g plain flour + 1TSP baking powder)
• 55g vitalite (or other dairy free butter alternative)
• 160ml non-sweetened plant milk of choice, plus more to glaze
• 70g violife (or other cheese alternative), grated
• Salt
• 1/2 TSP tumeric
• 1/2 TSP smoked paprika
• 1/2 TSP mustard powder
• Dash of cayenne pepper
• 2 TBSP nutritional yeast

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C

2. In a bowl, add the flour, spices and salt.

3. Add the butter and rub into breadcrumbs

4. Add the violife (save a small amount to put on top once the dough is done!) 

5. Stir in the plant milk and nutritional yeast until a dough is formed. Place onto a floured surface and spread out until it's at your desired thickness.

6. Place onto a lined baking tray, brush with plant milk and add a spinkle of violife if you want. 

7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the scones are golden and crunchy on the outside.
