...Vegan Scones from a Cake Mix...

...you will only need a few ingredients to make these sweet and delicious, crispy and flaky vegan scones...

1 box of vegan cake mix - any flavor...I used strawberry because the red looks Christmas-y...
2 cups self rising flour - I make my own...
8 Tablespoons of vegan butter...
about 1 cup of vegan buttermilk - any vegan milk and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar...you may need a little more or less to get the right biscuit-y texture...
Optional - fresh fruit...

...add the flour to the cake mix...and cut in the vegan butter...

...like you're making biscuits...you should still be able to see flakes of butter...

...prepare your fruit if using...

...add the vegan buttermilk...

...and stir to make a stiff but soft dough...

...add your fruit...

...plop the dough onto a lightly floured surface...

...and shape into a circle...

...cut into wedges and pull each wedge out a bit to separate them...

...sprinkle the tops with sugar...

...and bake just until they start to brown a little bit...

...these were so delicious hot from the oven...but we had them leftover too...and they are a nice sweet biscuit...

...I can think of lots of other flavor options I want to try...lemon/blueberry...cinnamon spice...cranberry orange...

...I think the cake mix adds the perfect amount of sweetness and the lighter flour contributes to the lightness of these scones...

~Have a lovely day!
