Eggless Cardamom Scones Recipe
These Eggless Cardamom Scones are not just quick and easy, they’re also really flaky and tasty. I love the cardamom flavor here. These go so well with Indian Masala Chai. They are perfect for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack. We eat them plain, with just butter, or with jam and cream. Making this fills your kitchen with that lovely freshly-baked bread smell that’s hard to beat.
What are Scones?
Scones are unsweetened, or lightly sweetened, biscuits like a cake made from flour, fat, milk, and flavoring.
Cardamom is such a trendy flavor, I couldn’t help but use it in this recipe. You are going to love these scones, not only for their enticing flavor, but also for how quick and easy they are to prepare.

Notes
Home Chef Tip: Don't over work your dough. Make sure your dough is not too dry. You can add any flavors or fruits of your choice.
This recipe makes eight big scones. These scones freeze very nicely and there’s no need to thaw them when you are ready to enjoy one. Just store them individually in zipper bags in the freezer. Whenever you want one, just pop it in the microwave for 40 to 50 seconds and it’s done. They stay fresh for at least two weeks in the freezer.
You can add any flavors or fruits of your choice. My personal favorites are blueberry, chocolate, cranberries, and orange. Just make sure to adjust the sugar level in the scone depending on how sweet the other add ins are.
