I got baking this week - first time in a very long time. I am now getting bored with lunches and am looking for new ideas...so savoury scones it is!
I had a good search around and combined several recipes and it seemed to work OK.
simple ingredients: self raising flour, butter, milk, egg and then cheese and spring onion. Added flavourings such as mustard powder or paprika, but try without if you don't have any. I prefer scones with an egg - having made the cheese and leek previously.
This is what I used
225 gms Self Raising flour
75gms butter
- rub these together so that they resemble fine breadcrumbs, then add 6 finely chopped spring onions and half a teaspoonful of mustard powder (or try paprika, or just salt and pepper if you don't have any of that)
Then add 75gms of grated cheese
Mix together then add
1 beaten egg and top up this with milk to make up 125mls in total, save a tiny drop and brush this on the top of the scones before baking.
Lightly knead together.
Make into a 2.5 cms thick, I just gently flattened with hand.
Then use a round cutter to make 6 scones, or just cut this into 6 triangles, brush the tops with the reserved egg/milk mix
and bake for 12 minutes at 200c/400f/gas mark 7
or you could make into a round and mark it into 6 - and bake for slightly longer.
The craft forum is still 'there' and it would be lovely to have a chat with people on there about their crafty makes.
