Cheese, Onion, Spinach Scones
Makes 5
Ingredients:
100g wholemeal flour
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch white pepper
100g mature grated cheddar cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
2 spring onions, chopped finely
125g fresh spinach, chopped
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
40 ml skimmed milk
½ tsp paprika
1 tsp English mustard powder
¼ tsp salt
Method:
- Preheat oven 180°C/gas 4
- Place a large baking sheet into the oven.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and pepper together, add the spinach and spring onion then sprinkle grated cheese into the mixture to distribute it evenly.
- Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in the oil and half the milk, mix together and add the remaining milk until you have a soft but firm dough.
- Lightly flour a surface and gently roll the dough 2cm thick. Cut out scones with a medium cutter and then place on the hot oven tray. Pull together any scraps and roll out again to get an extra couple of scones.
- Glaze the tops with the extra milk and sprinkle a little cheese and paprika (if using) on the top of each scone.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
