Baking is also one of passion since i started cooking...i prepared all sorts of baking items except scones, here comes my experience of preparing scones without egg..but i used flax seeds as the replacement of eggs..i rarely baked without eggs, this time i used flax seeds to prepare this scones.. thought of preparing simply with oats, last minute i added few chocolate chips...We had these scones for breakfast, they really turned out awesome also as vegan..
2cups Wheat flour
1cup Rolled Oats
1tsp Baking powder
1/2tsp Baking soda
3tbsp Vegetable Shortening
2tbsp Oil
2tbsp Grounded flax seeds
6tbsp of water
1/4cup Sugar
1/4cup Almond milk
1/4cup Chocolate chips
Just grind few tablespoons of whole flaxseeds into fine powder...conserve them in an air tightened box in fridge, can use whenever u need to prepare breads, cookies as eggless...
Take a large bowl..add the wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda , mix everything well with ur fingers, first add the shortening, oil to the flour n make them crumbly texture,now add the almond milk, sugar also the chocolate chips to the bowl, mix the grounded flax seed powder with 6tbsp of water into thick paste n add to the flour n mix everything well, dont over mix..make them as dough...
Dust the dough with few spoons of all purpose flour..roll the dough with a rolling pin as a thick disc..with a knife cut the disc into 8 wedges..
Transfer the wedges to a cookie sheet,leave atleast few space between the scones, meanwhile preheat the oven to 425F..brush the tops of the scones with almond milk..bake them for 20 minutes r until they get slightly browned...
Let them cool..serve them with coffee r tea..simply with any spread..
