This week the scones are from 'Killerton' and, aptly, these scones are to die for.

Bake

For these scones we thought we would, and should, finish up the lacto-free milk we have in the fridge instead of just pouring it down the sink. So we used that instead of plant-based milks (though we know they're just as effective).

Results

The bake went well but there was a significant problem in that the time given for the bake was 10-15 minutes, so we took the scones out at 10 minute mark and realsied they weren't as “springy” as expected and popped htem back in for another 5 minutes. They came out springy and golden. The 3 scones that didn't fit onto the tray were in next and they went in for 15 solid minutes, they were taller and were springier.

We have Cheese Scones from Stourhead (Wilstshire). I think we will run an experiment then too; lacto-free cheese and a vegan cheese. We're still requiring eggs, so they're not fully vegan which is a shame but there we are, gotta follow the recipe as closely as we can.
