Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 tablespoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegan butter
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the unsweetened almond milk with the apple cider vinegar and set aside for at least 5 minutes. This will create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Cut the vegan butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Add the shredded vegan cheddar cheese, chopped chives, parsley, garlic powder, and ground black pepper to the flour mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the almond milk and vinegar mixture.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 8

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.

Step 9

Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free savory scones warm!
