Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 scrolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, cream together softened vegan butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Gradually add almond milk to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth, consistent liquid.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangular shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly across the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Distribute fresh blueberries evenly across the cinnamon-covered surface, gently pressing them into the dough.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight log with the blueberries and cinnamon inside.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal-sized scrolls.
- Place the scrolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the scrolls rest for 10 minutes.
- Bake the scrolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your vegan butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dough consistency.
- Flour Power: If the dough feels too sticky, add flour gradually - a little goes a long way in achieving the perfect texture.
- Blueberry Placement: Gently press blueberries into the dough to prevent them from rolling out during the rolling process.
- Even Cutting: Use a sharp, clean knife and wipe it between cuts to create uniform scrolls.
- Resting Time: Allow the scrolls to rest for 10 minutes before baking to help them maintain their shape and develop a better texture.
- Oven Positioning: Bake in the center of the oven for even browning and consistent cooking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the scrolls cool slightly on a wire rack to prevent soggy bottoms and allow the filling to set.
