Scones. Quintessentially British and perfect served warm with some extra non-dairy cream cheese and perhaps a spinach salad, or just on their own. I'll let the photos do the talking!

Ingredients

2 cups flour (i used half brown rice and half chickpea flour)

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. brown sugar

1 1/4 cups dairy free milk with 1 T lemon juice

1 large handful of baby spinach leaves

1 T dried mixed herbs 

1 T chopped fresh basil

1 large mushroom, thinly diced

1 T dairy-free cream cheese (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven at 400F / 200C. In a large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients, then add the spinach, fresh basil and mushroom and combine. In a small bowl whisk together the dairy-free milk and the dairy-free cream cheese, add to the dry ingredients and mix it all together with a fork.

Using either a non-stick baking sheet or an oiled muffin tray divide the scone mixture into tablespoon sized servings. If you are using a baking sheet make sure you keep the scones about 2 inches apart from one another. 

Cook for about 10 minutes, until the top starts to turn slightly golden. Serve straight away, I suggest filling them with dairy free cream cheese! Yum.
