crushed berry lemonade

we made these blueberry scones following the recipe from kids are vegan too. (i trust that if a picky kid likes a food, usually most all people will like them too.) using frozen blueberries helps in keeping the berries from getting squished while you mix them in. as you can see i got carried away with mixing the batter anyway, and they ended up really purple. they’re great either way!

make sure to follow the directions as written, because the dough is very thick and will be hard to alter if you forget to add in something.

1. sift together 1 cup flour, 3 tbsp sugar, and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 
2. mix in 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. 
3. pour in 3 tbsp oil and 1/4 cup non-dairy milk. (we use unsweetened soy for baking.)
4. stir until just combined, then divide into four equal pieces and place on a greased baking pan. i also sprinkled some cinnamon on the tops!
5. bake at 425F for 12 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottoms.

serve at a great breakfast! the recipe makes four scones, i doubled it and they turned out lovely.

tried making some jelly doughnut cupcakes from veganomicon, they turned out pretty well!

i used our homemade strawberry jam for the filling, which was perfect. instead of putting the jam on top and letting it fall in, i filled the muffin tins 3/4 full, added the jam, then covered them with the rest of the batter. they have a strawberry-soaked center, with bits of fresh strawberries to chew into. so good!
