Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Whole-grain spelt flour
  • 100 grams Vegan butter
  • 11/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Almond milk (approximately)

Method
 

  1. Pit and chop dates
  2. Chop blackberries
  3. Sift all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl
  4. Add vegan butter and use your hands to rub it into the flour until it forms a fine crumb
  5. Add chopped blackberries and dates
  6. Using a knife, start to mix while slowly adding the milk. Continue to do this until the mixture starts to come together
  7. Tip the mixture onto a floured surface and knead carefully to form a dough
  8. Shape into a rectangle and divide into 8
  9. Place the individual portions onto a baking tray (leave a gap between them) and place into a hot, preheated fan forced oven (220 degrees C) Cook for 24 minutes until risen and golden.
  10. Wrap cooked scones in a clean tea towel and serve warm
  11. I like to eat them with a sugar free blackberry jam and a dollop of Greek yoghurt. @eatwellwithtracey
