This recipe was created a long time ago and I finally got the chance to post it. The Persimmons were courtesy of my friend's tree that was seriously overloaded with the sweetest fruit ever. I just had to create something beautiful with them and I think these scones have done them justice. Of course, as a Gaia Tree recipe it has to be vegan and guilt-free - tick and tick.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 22.5cm diameter x 4.5cm deep round baking tin with baking paper. Set aside.
Place all scone ingredients (except persimmon cubes) into food processor, pulse until rough crumbs are formed.
Remove mix from the food processor and add persimmon cubes.
Gently combine with your hands until a dough is formed.
Press dough into the prepared baking tin and divide the dough with a knife to form triangle pieces. Alternatively, you can roll out balls and line into the baking tin. Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and crusty.
Once cooked, leave in the baking tin for 10 minutes before transferring onto a cake rack to completely cool.
Combine all ingredients together and drizzle over scones.
