You don’t have to live in Devon or Cornwall to enjoy homemade scones. Here are some simple vegan recipes to master. Serve with a proper pot of organic tea!  These homemade vegan scones (The Veg Space) are super-simple to make. With orange-juice-soaked dried dfruits.

Use Flora vegan butter (no palm oil). Before cooking, read up on kitchen safety for people and pets (keep fresh dough away from children and pets).

These vegan cheese scones (The Veg Space) use vegan block butter and mustard, for a tangy treat. You can even make mini-scones and top with vegan cheese, chutney and chopped chives.

Gingerbread Scones with Berry Icing (Short Girl, Tall Order) use coconut oil (no vegan butter needed) and feature spicy ginger, brown sugar and molasses for a Deep-South style treat. If you can’t find pastry flour, then replace 2 tablespoons of flour with a tablespoon of cornstarch.

More local alternatives to American cranberries are Swedish lingonberries, cherries or tart apples (organic, to avoid shellac coating).

Serve with Vegan Clotted Cream!

dairy-free clotted cream

Remember the rule. If you live in Cornwall, it’s jam on top then cream. And the other way round, if you live in Devon!

Despite the images of cats lapping bowls of cream, they are lactose-intolerant. 

Most dairy clotted cream is not from free-range cows. So make your own vegan clotted cream (The Veg Space) in just 3 minutes (with vegan block butter, powdered sugar and Flora vegan double cream.

Prefer to buy? Flotted Cream has astounded reviewers with its taste and texture (made in a family cafe in Hampshire’s New Forest). Also sold at Leicestershire’s Positive Bakes (which sends out ‘vegan afternoon teas’ with scones and cakes, in compostable packaging).

Recipes for Vegan Angel Cake & Battenberg

These recipes are by a food blogger who is a bit of a genius for recreating childhood favourites. Most store-bought versions contain cochineal/carmine (dead red beetles for the pink colour), palm oil, factory-farmed animal ingredients and plastic packaging).

Angel Cake (Domestic Gothess) fills three sponge cakes with vanilla buttercream. Nostalgia galore! Serve with a proper pot of tea!

Battenberg cake is similar, this time made in a pink/yellow check pattern, held together with jam and marizpan (almonds). Again Mr Kipling’s version also contains palm oil, battery-farmed egg and carmine.

Vegan Battenberg Cake (Wallflower Kitchen) uses Flora vegan butter (no palm oil) and soy yoghurt, and colours with beetroot juice or beetroot powder for the pretty pink colour. The recipe is from Aimee Ryan’s fab book Great British Vegan.
