How to Prepare Gingerbread Scones [Vegan]
To Make the Scones:

Preheat the oven to 360°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Using your hands, rub in the butter until like breadcrumbs.
- Add in the yogurt and milk and mix until a dough forms.
- Flour a clean surface and roll out until 1-inch thick.
- Using a medium-sized cookie cutter, cut out the scones and place them onto the lined tray.
- Brush some milk over the top of each scone and pop them into the oven to bake for around 15-20 minutes or until golden in color.
- Once fully baked and golden brown, carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool, then decorate with vanilla drizzle.
To Make the Drizzle:

In a mixing bowl, combine the icing sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Add more icing sugar if too runny.

Transfer the drizzle into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Top off the scones with some of the drizzle and a dash of icing sugar (optional).
- Serve the scones with vanilla yogurt inside or any of the optional serving ingredients.
