Have these savoury Camembert cheese and red onion scones with a nice hot soup like French onion. They only need to bake for 12 minutes to come out soft and golden
Ingredients
- 225g (8oz) self-raising flour
- Pinch salt
- 55g (2oz) butter
- 25g (1oz) Camembert cheese, chopped into small chunks
- 150ml milk plus a little extra for glazing
- ½ tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 small red onion
- ½tbsp sugar
- 1tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1tbsp Dijon mustard
Method
Preheat oven to 220ºC (425ºF, gas mark 5) and lightly grease a baking tray.
Mix together the flour and salt, then rub in the butter.
Finely slice the red onion and cook over a medium heat along with the sugar and red wine vinegar until soft. This should take about 5 mins.
Stir in the Camembert, poppy seeds, Dijon mustard, milk and red onions to the flour mixture and form a soft dough.
Turn out on to a floured surface and lightly knead. Pat the dough out to form a round 2cm thick circle.
Using a 5cm cutter stamp out the scones until all the mix is used.
Place scones on baking tray, brush with milk and bake for 12-15 mins. Best served slightly warm.
Top tip for making Poppy seed, cheese and onion scones
Top tip: Camembert cheese works best in these scones, but you can use any leftover cheese you have in this recipe like Cheddar or Stilton.
