Servings: persons

Mock Buttermilk:
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup soy milk
Scones:
2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons dried dill
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 egg
Topping:
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Stir 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice into soy milk in a small bowl to make mock buttermilk. Let sit until curdled, 5 to 10 minutes.
3
Mix flour, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, sugar, baking powder, dill, and salt together in a large bowl using a fork. Mix in butter with a pastry blender until dough starts to clump together.
4
Whisk mock buttermilk, remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and egg together in a bowl. Pour over dough and mix gently with a fork just until incorporated.
5
Dust work surface lightly with flour. Turn out dough and pat into an 8-inch disc. Fold in half and gently flatten back out into a disc. Repeat folding and flattening the dough 3 more times, to build fluffy layers in the dough.
6
Transfer disc of dough to the baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Cut into 8 wedges and pull wedges apart so they are not touching.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
8
Remove scones from oven. Combine Parmesan cheese and black pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of the scones.
9
Return to the oven and bake until golden brown and edges look dry, about 10 minutes more.

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

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
