Savoury Scones Recipe

Elizabeth is the owner of Castleview Farm Bed & Breakfast and loves to bake for her guests. She has a delicous recipe for savoury scones and has kindly shared it with us. The scones are quick and easy to make and taste amazing served with butter. Yummy!

Ingredients 

340g (12oz) self-raising flour
85g (3oz) butter
55g (2oz) grated cheddar cheese
2.5ml (1/2tsp) dried mustard
125ml (1/4 pt) milk
60ml (4tbsps) natural yoghurt
1.25ml (1/4 tsp) salt

Method

1.  Pre-heat the oven to 200C and lightly grease a baking sheet or line with a non-stick liner.
2.  Mix the flour, salt, mustard and cheese in a bowl and rub in the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs.      
3.  Mix milk and yoghurt and stir into mixture, work it together until a soft dough is formed.
4.  Turn onto a floured board and knead lightly to get a smooth surface. Flatten out to an even thickness  of about 2cm (3/4).
5.  Using a 5cm (2") cutter, cut out 12 - 14 scones and place on baking tray.
6. Gather the trimmings and reshape for further scones. (These will not be quite such even shapes but  will taste great just the same).
7.  Bake for 12 - 15 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cool before you spread butter on them. Yummy!
