Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups self-rising flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup soymilk
1/4 cup soft silken tofu
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425°F Grease a large baking sheet and set it aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the vegetable shortening until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy milk, tofu, and vanilla.
Add the contents of the small bowl and the chocolate chips to the crumb mixture and blend with a fork until the mixture forms a soft dough.
Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 5 or 6 times.
With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a 7-inch circle. Cut it into 8 wedges and place them about an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Pierce the top of each with a fork. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.
Serve hot.
