    Ingredient Notes

    Vegan Butter: Be sure to use a vegan butter that comes in stick form like Soy-Free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks. If you use a vegan butter that comes in a tub, the scones will spread too much.

    Lemon Zest: The lemon flavor in these Vegan Lemon Strawberry Scones comes from lemon zest. No extract or flavorings required!

    Strawberries: Chop the strawberries into about ¼ inch pieces for better distribution.

    Variations

    Don't like strawberries? Substitute any berry you prefer like raspberries, blackberries or blueberries.

    Or substitute the lemon zest for orange, grapefruit or lime zest!

    Instructions

    These Vegan Lemon Strawberry Scones are so easy and fast to make! Here is how:

    In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest. Rub the lemon zest into the sugar to release the oils.

    Then, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into the bowl and mix to combine.

    Granulated sugar and lemon zest rubbed together in a marble bowl.

    Add the dry ingredients and the cubed vegan butter.

    Next, add the cold, cubed vegan butter and use a fork or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until its the size of small peas.

    Now, add the non-dairy milk, lemon juice and vanilla. Gently toss the mixture together with a fork. It will look shaggy here and thats okay!

    Pour the shaggy vegan lemon scone dough onto a lightly floured work surface and fold it over onto itself a couple of times to help it come together.

    Then, add the strawberries which I'll cover in detail below!

    How to Add the Strawberries to the Scones

    My method for adding the strawberries to the vegan lemon scones may seem a little weird, but it keeps the dough from becoming too wet, keeps the berries in tact, and distributes them evenly.

    Here is how to do it:

    Start by pressing the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.

    Then, add the chopped strawberries on top of the dough and lightly press them in.

    Scone dough patted nto a rectangle with chopped strawberries on top of it.
    Pat the scone dough into a rectangle, then top with chopped strawberries.
    Scone dough rolled into a log on a wooden surface.
    Then roll the scone dough into a log.

    Next, roll the rectangle toward you like a cinnamon roll.

    Then, press the log into a rectangle once more.

    Pat the dough into a rectangle once more.
    Scones placed onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
    Then cut the dough into 8 scones, place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake!

    Finally, cut the scones and bake!

    Make the Lemon Glaze

    The easy lemon glaze makes these scones taste like strawberry lemonade!

    And to make it, all you need to do is whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl.

    Then, drizzle the glaze on top of the Vegan Lemon Strawberry Scones.

    Expert Tips

    Keep all ingredients cold until you are ready to use them!

    That means cube the butter and measure the liquids and place them back into the refrigerator.

    Work the vegan scone dough as little as possible once it comes together. Folding it onto itself to help it come together is fine, but do not knead it!

    Storage

    To store, place the Vegan Lemon Strawberry Scones in an airtight container and keep at room temperature for up to 1 day. Scones stale quickly.

    Or, freeze for up to a month.

      These came out delicious and they were pretty easy to make! I’ve made the recipe twice and the second time I threw the cubed butter in the freezer because it was melting too quickly on me. Saving this recipe to try with other fruits too!
