Good Morning Ginger Scones

It's Tuesday and I feel like scones.  Plus my son Nic has been asking for them so here you go. ; )

Ginger Scones

1/2 c almond milk combined with 1 T lemon juice
2 c flour
1/2 c sugar (plus more for sprinkling)
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t ground ginger
1/8 t sea salt
1/2 c earth balance or coconut oil (or even butter flavored Crisco- not healthy but it is vegan)

almond milk or soy cream for brushing
optional - nuts or candied ginger for topping each scone

Heat oven to 350f

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and ginger.  Add eb or coconut oil and cut in with two knives or a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly and pieces are the size of peas.  Add almond milk and mix/knead briefly until soft dough forms. Line baking pan with parchment or silpat and pat out dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Using a knife or pizza wheel, cut into 8 uniform triangles. Separate slightly.  Brush triangles with a bit of almond milk or soy cream  and then sprinkle well with more sugar - I tend to like to use a coarser sugar here, but regular sugar will work fine.  If using nuts or candied ginger top each triangle now.  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a beautiful golden brown.  Pour the coffee or tea and enjoy.
