Oh my god! the Apricots look stunning! the scones look devourable, if there is such a thing! Agree on sweet breakfasts.. us Indians prefer nice, savoury breakfasts, made HOT & usually with whole grains, with either lentils added ( in teh case of pancakes & steamed cakes – Dosas & Idlies) or with yoghurt / buttermilk ( in case of flatbreads) for protein!
Alas, all sorts of western white breads & packaged cereals, eggs etc seem to be taking over today….
Just a request, you recipes are GORGEOUS… can you please enable an e-mail subscribe?As an aside, Indian food has Gorgeous vegan options – the best part is you dont need to substitute anything – they are created vegan!

if you use dried apricots just soak them in water for about an hour before hand so they’ll re-hydrate a bit. but these would also be really good with all sorts of other fruits. like pluots or nectarines which are in season, cherries, strawberries or even apples!

let me know what you end up doing.

I would love to make these for a tea shower I’m hosting this weekend, but i can’t find any fresh apricots! Do you think they’ll be just as good with dried apricots?

Hi Jacqueline…

I tried your recipe and it worked beautifully! The only challenge was that the dough was a bit sticky and I didn’t want to overflour the top and bottom. So, they came out a bit less wedgy but delicious nonetheless. We wondered if maybe turning the dough out onto parchment paper and cutting through the parchment would help? Suggestions welcome. Pictures on my blog, recipe links back to you. Cheers!

[...] My desire to be at market evaporated instantly after that interaction and we left shortly afterward. Yes, I could have picked up some eggs elsewhere, and likely will before the week is out, but I considered the mission a failure. (No, I’m never accused of being melodramatic. Why do you ask?) I did pick up some green and purple beans, the leeks and zucchini, some wonderful garlic and a strange looking cucumber, in addition to the blackberries. Once home, the apricots (found at Ingles earlier in the week) were turned into scones, using a recipe adapted from Jacqueline’s at sweet beet and green bean. [...]

This is one of the best recipees I have ever taken off the internet. I used chocolate soy milk since I didn’t have any plain and apple cider vineger, less sugar and a little bit of applejuice concentrate.

yeah, i was surprised by how well they turned out on my first try. usually with baked goods it can take 3-4 tries to get a new recipe right.

i think these would be super amazing with fresh cherries and chocolate chips, you could add cocoa powder and coconut flakes, or there must be a way to do a savory version with vegan cheese or caramelized onions. ooh the possibilities!

I made these over the weekend and they turned out AMAZING. Probably the best scone I’ve ever had [even pre-vegan days]! I may try to experiment with spices/fruits next.

lovely pictures as usual!

I agree with the overly sweet things for breakfast…sometimes it seems like a good idea but I end up paying for it in crankiness for the rest of the day!
