Too many desserts have gone by without something spicy and savory. So, in the birthday spirit of a good friend, I prepared these savory scones that I adapted from here.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoons chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon pav-bhaaji masala powder (optional)
- 1 stick cold butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons flax-seed whisked in 6 tablespoons lukewarm water
- 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
Preparation:
- Mix the dry ingredients together - the flour, baking powder, salt, chilli powder, and pav-bhaaji powder.
- Work the butter into the dry ingredients. Use a fork, or your fingers to mash and mix the butter into the flour until the butter is the size of peas.
- Slightly whip together the buttermilk and flax-seed mixture. Add it to the above mixture and gently fold everything together until the dough comes together.
- Finally, add the cheese and gently mix.
- Empty the dough onto a floured board and knead it a couple of times to pull it together.
- Pat the dough evenly into almost 3/4 inch thickness. With a blunt knife, cut the dough into triangles (or use a cookie-cutter to cut into rounds).
- Arrange the pieces on an oiled baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes on a preheated 400 F oven until the scones are brown around the edges.
Serve with ketchup and some tea/coffee.
