Dill and Cheese Scones
- 70 g whole wheat flour
- 70 g all-purpose flour (or spelt flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder (heaping tsp)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar (I used the light brown cane sugar)
- 45-40 g cheese (I like a sharp cheddar or gouda)
- 3-4 sprigs fresh dill (about 9 g or a handful)
- 1/2 tsp caraway (optional)
- 120 ml milk (or 1/2 milk 1/2 yogurt)
- 1 dash ground black pepper for top (optional)
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
- Mix flours, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
- Shred or cut the cheese into small cubes and add to bowl.
- Finely chop dill and add it to the bowl as well.
- Add caraway seeds if using too.
- Mix lightly, then gently mix in the milk.
- Instead of stirring or kneading, use a cutting motion with your spatula or spoon to mix in the milk until incorporated to help keep the dough fluffier.
- Once everything is incorporated into the dough, gently form into a ball and place on a floured surface/cutting board.
- Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.
- I like to cut mine into triangle shapes.
- Place scones onto a baking sheet.
- Melt butter and brush the top of each scone.
- If you like, sprinkle a little bit of ground pepper on top too!
- Bake for about 15 minutes at 200C/400F.
- Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes on a rack.
- Dig in!
