Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 300 g self-raising flour 2 1/3 cups
- 2 tbsp hazelnut toasted
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- pinch black pepper ground
- 100 g unsalted butter cubed, cold; 7 tbsp
- 60 g Stilton cheese crumbled (or other blue cheese, 2 oz
- 160 g Greek yogurt 5.7 oz
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk for glazing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Put all the flour, hazelnuts, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse briefly to combine. Add the butter and pulse a few times till the mix resembles coarse sand.
- Put the cheese, yoghurt, olive oil and egg in a measuring jug and mix together with a fork. Add to the dough and mix in brief pulses until when the dough forms clumps around the blade.
- Tip the dough on a floured worktop and pat it into a rectangle approximately 3cm/1in thick with your hands. Add a bit of flour if dough is too sticky but avoid handling it too much.
- Cut rounds with a floured 4cm/1.5in cutter, reshape dough and repeat (you can use a larger cutter if you prefer but you may need to adjust the cooking time).
- Place rounds on a tray lined with baking parchment. Brush with the egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until scones are well risen and nicely coloured.
- Serve warm with cheese or salted butter or with some soup for the perfect autumn lunch.
