    METHOD

    Set aside the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.

    Whisk together the egg replacer mixture, soy milk, and oil in a medium mixing bowl, then gently fold it into the dry ingredients until just combined (the batter should be somewhat lumpy).

    Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Pour about 13 cup batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake and cook until the top of each pancake is speckled with bubbles, then flip and cook for 30 to 60 seconds, or until lightly browned on the other side. Serve immediately or keep warm in a preheated oven at 150°C/300°F.

    METHOD

    Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    TO MAKE THE SCONES
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt. Scatter the butter over the mixture and cut it into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or two knives until the largest pieces are the size of peas and the rest resembles coarse meal.

    In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and soy creamer. Gently fold this mixture into the flour mixture until the dough comes together (you may have to knead it very gently a few times).

    Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and dust with additional flour. Form it into a 9-inch disc (use a rolling pin to lightly roll the dough if necessary, but the scones will be more tender if you pat it out with your hands). Cut the disc in half, then into three wedges for a total of six wedges. Place the wedges on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Place the scones on a baking rack lined with parchment paper to cool while you make the glaze.


    TO MAKE THE GLAZE
    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk vegan confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and soy creamer until smooth. 1 tablespoon of the glaze should be spread over each warm scone.


    TO MAKE THE DRIZZLE
    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together vegan confectioners' sugar, soy creamer, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until smooth. When the scones are cool enough to handle, drizzle the mixture over them with a fork. Store the scones at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container. Warm them up in an oven preheated to 165°C/325°F for 5 minutes before serving for the best results.
