day 19 breakfast: vegan cheddar chive scones

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp flax meal
• 3 tbsp warm water
• 3/4 cup soy milk
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (plus maybe 2 tbsp more as you work and shape the dough)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup vegan margarine (I used vegan Becel)
• a hefty pinch of kosher salt
• 1/4 cup chives, chopped into 1 cm pieces (1/2 inch)
• 1 cup vegan cheddar (I used Daiya)

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF (if your oven runs hot, bring it down to 375ºF)
2. In a small bowl, combine flax meal and water and let thicken.
3. In another small bowl, combine soy milk and vinegar and let curdle to make vegan buttermilk.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and baking powder and stir until combined. Using a pastry knife (or just rub in with your fingers), cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse sand.
5. Stir in the flax mixture and vegan buttermilk. Gently knead together dough until all flour is incorporated. Shape into a thick, round disc (see the video if you want to know how big) and cut into 6-8 wedges (depending on how you like the shape).
6. Bake for 25-30 min at 400ºF (if your oven runs hot, bring it down to 375ºF) until you have golden edges on your scones.
7. Remove from oven, let cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
