Cheese, Sage and Onion Savoury Scones
I realise these scones sound a little odd and festive but they are really tasty! Good for a snack hot with salted butter or instead of a sandwich for a lunchbox – add a little chutney and cheese in-between and it makes lunch a little more interesting!
Ingredients:
- 1 heaped teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ a teaspoon of salt
- 350g self-raising flour
- 150g cheddar cheese
- 190ml milk
- 100g butter
- 1 egg
- 1 onion (very finely sliced and diced)
- About 5 or 6 Sage leaves (washed and thinly shredded)
Method:
- Heat your oven to 180C
- Mix all the dry ingredients together
- Cut the butter into cubes then rub it into the dry mixture
- Grate the cheese and add that and all the remaining ingredients to the bowl
- Mix all of these together to form a dough
- Tip the dough onto a floured surface and cut out 3 cm deep discs with a cutter. Place these scone discs on an oiled baking tray
- Place in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Check regularly to ensure the scones do not burn or brown too fast.
