You don't have to be English or relish tea to enjoy scones/tea biscuits. They can also be made in no time, given that you don't even have to bring the butter to room temperature. Check out this list for amazing egg-free scone recipes.
How to substitute eggs in scones?
In scones, eggs are typically used to add moisture, richness, and help with binding. Effective substitutes include:
- Buttermilk or Yogurt or Cream: Creates a tender crumb, making the scones moist and fluffy.
- Silken Tofu: Pureed tofu works well to maintain moisture and structure without altering the flavor.
- Flaxseed or Chia Seed Gel: Adds binding properties and a slight nuttiness, making it perfect for heartier scones.
- Applesauce: Adds moisture and a hint of sweetness, making it suitable for sweeter varieties.
Adjustments to liquid ingredients may be necessary based on the chosen substitute to maintain the correct dough consistency.

Now on batch 50 something, I make the cranberry for parties. I have changed the recipe to make cinnamon/raisin scones by subbing the cranberries and chips with 3tbsp cinnamon and 3/4 cup raisins. Then I make a slurry of confectioners sugar and a little amount of milk for icing to drizzle over them. Had one guy from England said they were the best he's had! My egg allergy wife says your recipes are a Godsend!

I'm so thrilled to find this website! I'm allergic and have food intolerance to a lot of food.. eggs too. and have recently had to adjust to even lesser foods to eat. I am down to the ability of eating pork and carrots. Potatoes are hard on my stomach, sometimes; it's really hard to be with my family and have to watch them eat cake. Makes me very depressed. and here, you show me eggless recipes! Wow!! I am so grateful!!
Madhuram says
That's really sad Sheila! 🙁 Hope these recipes can help you have cake along with the others. All the best. Happy baking!

Madhuram says
The key is not to over mix the dough and the butter has to be cold.
