Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat pasty flour
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup dairy free butter - softened
  • ¾ cup vanilla almond milk - or dairy free milk of your choice
  • ½ cup dried currants - or mini raisins

For the Drizzle

  • ¼ cup blackberry jam
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the flour, sugars, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the butter and cut in with a pastry cutter.
  • At the end of the cutting I use my fingers to pinch and blend the butter and flour to make sure it gets close to resembling coarse meal.
  • Stir in the milk until just blended.
  • Add the currants or mini raisins. Blend lightly (fold if you can).
  • Turn out on a floured board and knead about 4 times to get everything incorporated well. Do not over mix.
  • Press into a round that is about ¾" thick.
  • Place on an oiled cookie sheet.
  • Cut into 8ths as you would a pie.  You don't have to separate the pieces.  Just slice through or almost all the way through.
  • Bake at 375• for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Cool on a rack.

For the Drizzle

  • Heat the jam and water for a few seconds in the microwave until melted.  Drizzle over the baked scones.

Notes

Store in airtight container or freeze.
They keep a couple of weeks in the refrigerator or you could freeze them in a rigid sided container for about 4 months.
