1) Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4).
2) Weigh out 750g self-raising flour and 185g baking margarine and put them into a bowl or the bowl of a food processor. Rub the ingredients together by hand or attach the paddle beater and mix on a low speed for 3–4 minutes, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3) Into your base mix, add 120g soft light brown sugar and 5g ground mixed spice. Mix gently to combine.
4) Add 65ml whisky into the dry mix plus the zest and juice of 1 lemon.
5) If using a food processor, remove the paddle beater and replace with the dough hook.
6) Add ¾ of the 225ml oat milk into your mix. Combine everything together until you form a sticky dough. Add more oat milk if needed.
7) Tip your dough onto a lightly floured work surface and using your hands gently work the dough until it’s combined.
8) Roll out the dough so it's roughly 4cm thick. Use a 7cm straight-edged round cutter to cut out 12 scones. You'll need to roll out the dough again and cut out the scones a few times to use up all the dough.
9) Place your hot toddy scones on a lined baking tray.
10) Put them in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes until risen and lightly coloured. The scones should feel light when you pick them up.
