Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Add the cold and cubed vegan butter. Use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, and stir until just combined. If the dough seems really dry and crumbly, add just a little bit more milk (up to 1/4 cup more). Fold in 3/4 cup chopped pecans.
  • On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Flatten the dough a bit with your floured hands, into a circle about 1-inch thick.
  • Using a large knife or pizza cutter, cut it like you would a pizza, into 8 pieces.
  • Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-24 minutes, until lightly golden brown on top.
  • Make the Maple Glaze: Melt the vegan butter in a microwave, then add it to a bowl with the maple syrup, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk well to combine. If it's too thick, add just a little bit of maple syrup or soy milk to thin. If it's too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar to thicken.
  • Let the scones cool for 15 minutes, then drizzle generously with the maple glaze. Top with the rest of the chopped pecans and let set before serving. Enjoy!
