These scones i have to say are pretty amazing if you want to try something a little different! I have only tried the recipe with cheddar cheese but i bet goats cheese works amazingly! THIS I will be trying out soon!
250g plain flour (plus extra for dusting the cutter in)
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey
120g cold butter, cubed
200g pumpkin puree (cold and drained though a sieve
100g grated cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped
1 egg yolk for egg wash
Preheat oven to 200c and line a banking tray with baking paper. In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder. Add the butter (which must be very cold. I find that after cubing it pop it in the freezer for 5 min to re-chill) to the mixture and rub together until you have a mixture resembling breadcrumbs.
Then add the rest of ingredients to the flour mixture and combine by hand until well combined. Ensuring you don't overwork the dough. once combined shape into a ball then flatten till the dough is about one inch thick.
Using a large circular cutter dip the cutter in flour and gently press into the dough making sure not to twist the cutter. When all the surface has been used reshape the dough to continue to cut.
Lay the scones on the banking tray. Whisk up an egg and brush over the scones. If you want an extra cheesy hit grate a little extra over the scones.
Bake the scones in the centre of the oven for about 15 minutes until risen and golden.
