Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 here it is, slightly modified: 2 1/4 c. soymilk (we used silk enhanced) 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar 3 c. flour (we used whole wheat) 1/3 c. sugar (unrefined evaporated stuff) 2 tbsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/3 c. oil (we used cold-pressed canola) 3 tbsp. orange zest (definitely use organic oranges because otherwise it's just pure pesticide you're scraping off) glaze: 1 c. powdered sugar (we just made our own in the food processor) 2 tbsp. vegan butter, melted (we use earth balance) 2 tbsp. fresh-squeezed orange juice 1 tsp. orange zest combine soymilk and vinegar and set aside combine dry ingredients mix in soymilk and vinegar plus the oil and zest until just combined divide dough in two; knead one portion at a time form each piece into a 6-in. disc; slice into 6 pieces like a pizza bake on a lightly-greased baking sheet at 400F for 12-15 mins. combine glaze ingredients untilsugar is dissolaved and spread over the top of the scones (she says to pour it on, but i thought it was too messy, so i used a marinating brush) we were out of oranges today so i made these with lemon, and they still turned out very good (but then again, i love lemon).

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Here is the recipe. I kept it in my e-mail - it was SO good! I actually had blood oranges so used them. It gave the sauce a nice pinky colour. Very yummy. My boys (3.5 and 1.5 loved them). As Chandelle mentioned in the recipe, all whole wheat worked wonderfully.
