Οδηγίες

Make the scones

Combine the plant milk and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a measuring glass and let stand for approximately 5 minutes to thicken and curdle

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt and lemon zest. Cut in the cold butter pieces using either a pastry cutter or two knives working in a criss-cross motion until the mix resembles coarse cornmeal. Don’t worry if some larger pieces of butter remain – the keyis to not touch the mix with your hands so that the butter stays as cold as possible

Pour in the milk and add the currants and combine until the dough just comes together and there’s no dry flour at the bottom of the bowl. Use a dough whisk or a wooden spatula as much as possible and try to avoid overworking the dough. If it seems a little dry, add more plant milk, 2 tbsp at a time, until it comes together

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press the dough into a disc shape about 2 inches thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for a minimum of 30 minutes (up to overnight)

Preheat the oven to 425F and line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper

Return the dough to a lightly-floured surface and using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out into a disc shape that is about 1 – 1.5 inches thick. If desired, press additional currants into the top of the dough for a bakery-style look. Use a bench scraper or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Place on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle tops with turbinado sugar (if using – it gives a nice crunchy texture on top) and bake on the top rack for 15-17 minutes or until the tops and bottoms are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly

Make the glaze

Combine the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice in a bowl and whisk until a thick but pourable glaze forms. If the mix is too thick or dry, add the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled scones and serve
