I followed the recipe almost as written. I used all purpose flour instead of chickpea flour and grated frozen butter into the flour mixture. When adding wet ingredients I also added chocolate chips to avoid over mixing. These were some of the best scones I’ve baked to date. (Out of ten recipes) They rose nicely; the other crust was crispy and the inside moist and flaky! Thank you for a truly excellent recipe.

Absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly as written and the result was a batch of melt in your mouth slices of heaven!

I have to watch my intake of fat, due to gallbladder surgery.
Can these be made fat free or with
Half the amount of vegan butter?

Thank you

Made these for Christmas morning with coffee. Followed recipe exactly- used a glass pie plate to shape the dough. These are some of the best scones I've ever had! Very flaky and buttery

In reply to Vanessa. If your baking powder is fresh and you used the right amount, it might be an altitude issue or oven temperature problem.

I made these the other day with no modifications other than not putting in the walnuts and they were good but didn’t rise much. I didn’t use all my liquid. My baking powder should be fine as I just bought it. Any idea what happened?

In reply to Nancie Kohlenberger. I'm sorry. There should have been parathesis around (1 stick) to indicate that 1 cup = 1 stick. Earth Balance does have buttery sticks. Check them out here! They are much easier to use for baking.

I find this recipe confusing. Where it gives the measurement for butter it says 1/2 cup 1 stick vegan butter such as Earth Balance. I'm not sure if this means 1/2 cup or 1 stick or both. And I am not aware that Earth Balance has sticks. It may have. I just never bought it this way.

If you could clarify this, I'd very much appreciate it.

i just came across this blog looking for a dovetail scone recipe. I too lived literally next door to this place and actually went there when i was in labour(like 5 cms dilated at least) and got a scone, and went through contractions when we went to pay. The woman at the counter was a bit freaked out as when she lived in NYC and went into labor, the cab did not arrive in time and she had her baby at home. Lucky me i wouldn't have my daughter for another 18 hours.

This was almost a daily trek for me with my newborn, i really miss their scones.

Hello,
I was wondering is it ok to substitute almond milk for soy milk?

In reply to Chang. Ooops! My mistake. It should be 1/2 cup. I'm fixing it right now. Thanks for pointing that out, and I'm sorry if this batch of scones turns out a bit under-buttery.

Hi,
I am making this scone right now, but notice that one stick of earth balance butter is 1/2 cup, not 1/4 cup.
So I use only half stick, we'll see if it turns out ok 🙂

hello!
any idea how these would turn out using non-vegan milk and butter? i'm attempting to make this recipe with what i have on-hand -- just curious if and how i should adjust measurements?

thanks! either way, can't wait to try this out!

In reply to Willow. If you are talking about regular milk (non-vegan) I would work fine although I would suggest using half and half over milk. If you are talking about non-dairy milk your best options would be something rich and creamy like soy or hazelnut milk.
