Introduction

A beautiful savoury Afternoon Tea recipe created by Shane Smith – courgette goat cheese scones. A savoury scone is always a welcomed addition to any Afternoon Tea and the marriage of courgette & goats cheese is a pairing that never disappoints. Sponsored Kenwood Ireland

Ingredients

  • 400g plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 100g butter
  • 100g firm goats cheese
  • 1 medium egg
  • 250ml buttermilk
  • 200g grated courgette
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 50g pine nuts
  • EGG WASH:
  • 1 egg, whisked

Method

  • 1. Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C Fan/ Gas 4/350F
  • 2. Into your Kenwood mixing bowl, fitted with the kBeater add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix for a few seconds until blended.
  • 3. To this add the butter and mix slowly until you are left with a texture that resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • 4. At this point, add the egg, buttermilk, grated courgette, chopped parsley, crumbled goats cheese and pinenuts. Mix to combine but do not over mix.
  • 5. Turn out onto a floured work surface and roll out so the mix is roughly 2 inches thick.
  • 6. Dip a 5cm round scone cutter in flour and cut out 12 scones trying to use as much of the dough as possible.
  • 7. Place these scones on a lined baking tray and egg wash the top.
  • 8. Pop into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • 9. Once the scones are baked, remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • 10. Delicious served warm with a knob of butter or goats cheese!
