྿ savouries for a change

sometimes it's really nice to make something a little different:

I had a party recently and these went down a treat!

the recipe has been tweaked and adapted by me

from a basic scone dough:

the fresh ingredients give subtle flavour:

indian scones

you will need ....

250g self raising flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

125g butter *cold and cubed*

1 tablespoon garam masala

a big handful of chopped fresh coriander

2 teaspoons of grated ginger

1 large egg ~ beaten

4 tablespoons buttermilk

*you can use 2 tbsps milk mixed with 2 tbsps plain yoghurt if you don't have buttermilk*

1 tablespoon milk for brushing

some mustard seeds or cumin seeds

preheat your oven to 200°c/180°fan/ gas 6:

line some baking trays with greaseproof paper:

now sieve the flour, baking powder and garam masala into a large bowl:

add the cubed butter, a pinch of salt and rub into the flour

until it looks rubbly:

add the fresh ginger, coriander and stir:

now add the egg, buttermilk and make into a dough:

carefully roll out onto a floured surface, to about 2cm thick:

then using a cutter *I used a 4cm* cut out your scones:

brush each one with a little milk and sprinkle on the mustard/cumin seeds:
