INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- It forms the structure of the scones and makes soft, tender crumbs. All-purpose flour maintains the lightness and stability. Use white whole wheat flour as per your choice.
BAKING POWDER:
- Baking powder raises the scones during baking. It makes air pockets, so you get a fluffy recipe. Use fresh baking powder for best results. There is a no direct alternative of baking powder.
GARLIC POWDER:
- This is the ingredient that includes a mild savory taste to improve the cheese and herb. It makes the scones more flavorful. Onion powder is a good substitute as well.
VEGAN BUTTER:
- Vegan butter makes flaky layers and a tender texture. Use cold butter because it melts during baking and forms a pocket of steam. You may use coconut oil as another choice.
VEGAN CHEESE:
- Vegan cheese includes a signature cheesy taste and makes your recipe vegan. Use vegan mozzarella or vegan cheese blends as another idea.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- It reacts with the vegan milk to make a vegan buttermilk effect. This makes the scones softer and more tender. You may use lemon juice if apple cider vinegar is not available.
