Here in Tassie, we have Pepperberry trees. I'm not sure if the berries are available easily to other places, although I have seen them dried in the shops. I love them, and came up with this recipe. Everyone loved them the first time I made them, so it became a regular thing! Fresh berries are best, but I have made them with some I had picked and left to dry. The flavour is similar, but the fresh ones leave a wonderful purple colour through the scone, and the flavour carries through the scone better as well. Make sure you preheat your baking tray! Ingredients:
2 cups self raising flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 cup milk |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated |
1/2 cup pepper berries |
Directions:
1. Sift flour & salt into a bowl.
2. Add parmesan cheese and garlic.
3. Melt butter and pour into flour. Add milk gradually, stirring with a knife, until you have a moist dough.
4. Turn onto floured board, and knead berries into dough. Press dough out until it is about 1 inch thick. Cut with a cookie cutter or glass, and place on a hot floured tray with each scone touching.
5. Bake at 220C for 10-15 minutes.
6. Serve hot, with chilled butter.
