Can I make these English scones gluten-free?

Yes, the recipe states you can substitute plain flour with a gluten-free alternative for the scones.

How do I prepare the whipped coconut cream?

Chill a tin of full-fat coconut milk overnight, then scoop out the solid fat from the top. Mix this fat with 2 tablespoons of icing sugar using a fork until whipped.

What other dried fruits can I use besides cranberries?

The recipe suggests using any other dried fruit you prefer, offering flexibility beyond dried cranberries.

What is the best way to avoid overmixing the scone dough?

When adding the milk and vanilla mixture, incorporate it a little at a time, bringing the dough together until it's just firm, taking care not to overmix.

How should I store leftover vegan English scones?

Store cooled scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat briefly in the oven for best results.

How to Prepare English Scones with Jam and Whipped Cream [Vegan]

Heat oven to 350°F. Mix plain flour, baking powder, salt, and caster sugar together in a large bowl, then rub the butter in with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir through dried cranberries.
Add milk to a jug and stir in the vanilla. Add a little at a time to the bowl, bringing the mixture together until it forms a firm dough, taking care not to overmix.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a circle about 3/4 of an inch thick. Cut scones with a 5cm cutter or glass. Bake for 12-15 mins until golden.
To prepare the whipped coconut cream, open the tin of coconut milk and scoop out the fat from the top of the can. Mix in a small bowl with 2 tbsp of icing sugar using a fork. Layer scones with dollops of strawberry jam and coconut cream.
