Flaxfarm
Traditional buckwheat and flax drop-scones, gluten-free, vegan, saturated fat-free
I often cook without eggs so that it is a fat-free and healthier option. I use chickpea flour with buckwheat flakes (or flour) and ground flax as a more nutritious alternative to wheat flour, eggs and all that stuff. I use a coarse ground chickpea flour called maghaj but gram flour works just as well.
I use coarse gound chickpea flour and buckwheat flakes because they are lower GI than finer flours and make breads and baking more chewy, substantial and satisfying.
Drop Scones, gluten-free, vegan, saturated fat-free
I usually make this quite stiff and thick so it makes a nice squidgy bready scone, if you want a flatter drop scone add more water - it gives you more area to spread with butter honey or marmalade.
Don't worry if you don't have any baking powder, it's optional as it doesn't really matter if you don't have any, it just means the scone is a little more dense.
