Yes, I mean "bake", literally. I cook a lot but I don't really bake.
Why?
Cause' the time it takes me to bake one thing, I can do stir-fry, grill and deep-fry a lot of stuff and everything will be ready for a whole meal for my family. There is no time for me to knead the dough and measure every ingredient. {Oh, well, maybe just because I didn't bake enough. This I assume will lead us to the discussion of chicken come first or eggs come first. blah~~}
Anyhow, after I ate my friend, Yu's, homemade steel-cut oats with currant scones for two days in a roll, I am hooked. I decided to bake my own version of Vegan, gluten-free scone. It's not that I have celiac disease (link here) but I am sensitive to wheat, thus, I have been eating 90% gluten-free diet for some time.
Here is the recipe I searched online and adapt it a bit for my convenience.
First, you need to blend the coconut palm sugar and coconut oil together. Then mix all the dry ingredients altogether. Then use a stand mix or hand knead the dry ingredients into coconut sugar and oil mixture in two parts. As you know the texture should be coarse and look like cookie dough before you roll them out and cut them in either round or triangle shapes.
PS. Don't forget enter yourself to my GIVEAWAY of $150 worth Tatcha beauty product. They are amazing!!

Coconut oil (available at WholefoodsMarket)
This step is to mix coconut palm sugar with coconut oil.
I really like the dense texture.
Bon Appetit~~
(Did you see that silvered almond there? I should add more next time.)
Summer is for baking!
