Servings: persons

1 cup organic whole wheat pastry flour, like Bob's Red Mill
1 cup bread flour
2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder, aluminum-free
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
6 tablespoons organic non-hydrogenated shortening, like Spectrum
1/2 cup almond milk, or other non-dairy milk
1/4 cup spiced rum, like Kraken
4 plums, thinly sliced

1
Preheat the oven to 425u00b0. Grease a muffin tin with a little organic shortening.
2
In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, sea salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and shortening. Process the ingredients until the dough resembles a meal.
3
Add the liquid ingredients and pulse a few times. The dough should look like a thick batter.
4
Using a cookie scoop, place one scoop of batter in each muffin tin. Add a few of the sliced plums to the tins and press them down onto the dough.
5
Cover the plums with another dollop of dough and smush it down so that it somewhat covers the fruit.
6
Cover each scone with a sprinkle of cane sugar and pop them into the oven for 12-15 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
