Fruit Scones

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7.
2. Add the flour to a mixing bowl with the salt.
3. Rub the margarine into the flour.
4. Add the raisins and sugar and mix together.
5. Add the milk and mix to a soft dough. If the mix is too wet add a little flour, or if too dry add a little more plant milk.
6. Roll out onto a floured surface to approximately 2 cm thick. Cut into rounds and place on a greased baking tray.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until risen and golden brown.
8. Serve with soya or coconut cream and jam.

CHEF’S TIP: Try making savoury scones by leaving out the sugar and raisins. Add dried herbs and grated vegan cheese instead.
