Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°. Combine 2¼ cups of the flour, the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Using a fork, pastry blender, or your fingers, cut EB into the flour mixture until it forms coarse crumbles. Add blueberries and toss until combined.
- Use a fork to beat the soy milk mixture with the flax, then gently fold into the dry ingredients, mixing lightly just until blended. Add up to 1/4 cup additional flour if dough is too sticky.
- On a floured surface, divide the dough in half and gently pat each half into a circle 5 or 6 inches in diameter. With a sharp knife cut each circle into 6 wedges and place on a heavy duty baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper. Brush the tops and sides of the scones with a little EB and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.
