Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare your flax egg by adding your flax seed to the warm water and letting it sit for a few minutes.
- Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and spices.
- Cut in the vegan butter and rub until mixture is evenly crumbly.
- Toss in the toasted pecan bits.
- Add your pumpkin, flax egg, and vanilla to your milk.
- Add wet to dry ingredients and mix gently, just until combined. Gently make a ball and knead gently once or twice.
- Turn your dough out onto a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper.
- Cut in half and with each half, pat down into a thick circle of about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each into 6 pie-shaped pieces.
- Place your 12 triangles onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If you prefer not to do the maple glaze version, just sprinkle the scones with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before baking.
- Bake at 400 degrees F. for about 12 minutes or until brown and cooked through.
- While warm, drizzle with maple drizzle and sprinkle with the toasted, chopped pecans.
- These are excellent served warm with a little jam or marmalade! Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Another simple topping is to brush the scones with a little plant milk and sprinkle with a little sugar and cinnamon. Also delicious!!
