Vegan Orange Scones
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup evaporated cane sugar + 1 T
1 T baking powder (I substitue 1 t. baking powder and 2t. cream of tartar due to corn allergy)
1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1/2 t. ground nutmeg
1/2 orange juice + 1 T
2 t. orange extract (I didn't use)
1 T orange zest, grated
1/2 c. Earth Balance, room temperature (I used the coconut one)
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 c sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 c of the orange juice, orange extract and orange zest. Add to the flour mixture and mix until well combined. Add the Earth Balance and mix well.
Lightly flour a flat surface and knead the dough for about a minute. Form the dough into a ball and then shape into a small pizza crust shape, lightly flattening down the dough into the desired thickness (about 1-in/2.5-cm thick). Cut the dough with a large knife into four wedges (I divided these into four more pieces=16 pieces total), just like you would a pizza. Place each pie wedge onto a baking sheet. Using a pastry brush or your fingers, cover the deough with the remaining 1 T of orange juice. Sprinkle with remaining 1 T of sugar. Bake 15-minutes. Remove from oven and place on wire rack to cool. Serve with your favorite jam.

Although these don't have the super flaky consistency of my regular scones, these were super tasty and the edges were nice and crispy up to a few hours after baking. I'm looking forward to trying more recipes from this book!
