A savoury scone is a perfect wholesome snack for morning, afternoon and late snack.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Self raising flour
- 4 cups Wholemeal self-raising flour
- 4 tbs Margarine
- 2 cups Reduced fat cheese, grated
- 2 cups Reduced fat milk
- 4 Eggs
Method
- Beat eggs and milk together.
- Rub margarine into combined flour then and grated cheese.
- Stir the combined egg and milk into the flour to make a soft dough. Lightly knead the dough on a lightly floured surface.
- Pat dough out to approx. 2cm thick. Cut with a sharp, lightly floured cutter or knife into at least 40 scones.
- Place onto a greased tray and bake in a hot oven (200-220C) for 10-15 minutes.
Hints and Tips
- Two cups of sultans could be added (before adding the milk and eggs).
- If the dough is too sticky to knead, divide the mixture between two greased loaf tins and bake in a moderate oven (180c) for 30-40 minutes or until cooked. The dough could also be cooked as a damper.
- Instead of using a scone cutter, pat dough out to approx. 2cm thick and, using a sharp knife, cut into square (or rectangle) Scones.
- Scones freeze well.
