  3. Combine dry ingredients by whisking together the flours and baking powder in a bowl.
  4. Cut in the Vegan Butter until the mixture resembles a soft texture with pea-sized pieces.
  5. Incorporate wet ingredients and stir gently until no dry flour is visible.
  6. Prepare the Muffin Pan by greasing it and filling with scone dough. Top with poached plums.
  7. Preheat the Oven to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle tops with turbinado sugar if desired.
  8. Bake the scones for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for a golden top.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
