Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2
|
Zest the lemons in a small bowl and set it aside.
3
|
In a large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, whisk the aquafaba for about 1 min till it gets foamy.
4
|
Add milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix till well combined.
5
|
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well.
6
|
Add the cold cubed butter and mix it with the flour ingredients using a pastry cutter. Or you can use your fingers till the mixture is crumbly. There will be some large butter chunks.
7
|
Pour the liquid ingredients into the flour/butter mixture. Mix all the ingredients with a rubber spatula or bowl scraper until it forms a dough.
8
|
On a clean surface, work the dough some more with flour on your hands. Add more flour to the dough if it's too sticky, 1 tablespoon at a time. Form the dough into a 6-7 inch disc shape and slightly flatten it.
9
|
With a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the dough into 8 triangles.
10
|
Place the scones on the cookie sheet, at least 1 inch apart, and bake for 14-16 mins, till slightly golden around the edges. Let the scones cool for about 5 mins.
11
|
Turn the scone upside-down and dip it into the glaze, covering the entire top and edges. Place it on a cooling rack for the glaze to drip. You can also pour the glaze onto the scones.
12
|
Add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon milk, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk well; if the glaze is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk.
13
|
Stir in the lemon zest.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Keep Butter Freezing Cold ❄️Cube your vegan butter and freeze it for at least 30 minutes before mixing into dry ingredients; this creates flaky layers as the cold butter creates steam pockets during baking.
- Don't Overwork the Dough 🙌Mix until just combined—overworking develops gluten and creates dense, tough scones instead of tender, crumbly ones; stop as soon as you see no dry flour.
- Aquafaba Creates Superior Structure 🥚Use 3 tablespoons of aquafaba (chickpea liquid) whisked for 1-2 minutes to incorporate air, which mimics egg's binding and leavening properties for a lighter crumb.
- Balance Lemon Zest and Juice Timing 🍋Add zest to dry ingredients for subtle flavor throughout, but reserve fresh juice for the glaze only to preserve bright, punchy citrus notes that don't fade during baking.
- Brush with Plant Milk Before Baking ✨Gently brush the tops with unsweetened almond milk right before baking to create a light golden crust; this vegan alternative caramelizes beautifully without dairy.
