WATERCRESS AND CHEESE SCONES
Method
- Preheat oven to 200C
- Sift the flour and salt together and rub in the butter
- Stir in the cheese and chopped watercress and bind with enough milk to form a soft dough. Just remember with scones that they don’t require a lot of handling
- Roll out on a floured board until about 3cm.
- Cut into 6cm circles using a pastry cutter.
- Bake in preheated oven until risen and golden brown (about 15 minutes).
- Delicious simply with butter, or served alongside soup.
Comments
I have been making scones since I can remember! By adding some fresh, peppery watercress you not only lift the flavour but you add many nutrients.
