These are wonderful savoury scones, which I got from 99 cents traditional british cooking cookbook. What a great invest I have to say! ;) These are very easy to make and in my opinion have a great flavour, too. Let me know what you think! Ingredients:
2 cups flour (i use half whole grain flour) |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
30 g butter, cut into small pieces |
180 ml milk |
30 g butter, melted |
1/2 cup cheese, grated (e.g. cheddar or gouda cheese) |
2 teaspoons sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F.
2. In a big bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. Using your finger tips work in butter until dough resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Make a well in the center and add milk. Using a knife stir quickly into a smooth dough.
4. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 or 3 turns before rolling out (you can also just pat it down a bit).
5. Using a cookie cutter or glass to cut out scones (I use a 7.5 cm glass).
6. Place on a paper-lined baking sheet.
7. For glaze combine melted butter with cheese and sesame seeds and spread evenly over scones.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until nicely browned.
9. Enjoy warm or cooled.
