Sundried tomato and olive savoury scones
A quick and easy recipe for sundried tomato and olive scones. These savoury scones will disappear rapidly when you serve them they are so good. Suitable for vegetarians.
Ingredients
- 225 g self raising flour (self-rising flour)
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- ½ teaspoon salt optional
- 55 g butter or dairy free alternative cut into cubes
- 150 ml oat milk (or milk of your choice) plus a few tablespoons extra for brushing at the end
- 3 sundried tomatoes drained of oil on kitchen paper and finely chopped
- 10 pitted black olives finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C(fan)/220°C/gas mark 7. Cover a baking sheet with greaseproof baking paper.
- Mix 225g self raising flour, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda together in a mixing bowl. Add 55g cubes of butter (or vegan alternative) and rub together with your fingertips until it looks like breadcrumbs. You could use a food processor for this stage.
- Gradually mix in 150ml milk until combined and you have a slightly sticky, but not too wet, dough. You may not need all the milk to mix in slowly - you don't want the dough to be too sticky to roll out.
- Stir in 3 finely chopped sundried tomatoes and 10 finely chopped olives. You may want to use your hands to work them into the dough.
- Turn out the mixture onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to a thickness of 2.5cm/1inch. Cut into rounds using a pastry cutter. I used a small cutter and ended up with 15 scones. Place on your prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with a little extra milk and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. These are really nice served warm, but also good the next day. If not eating immediately allow to cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
