CHEESY SUN-DRIED TOMATO SCONES



Cheesy Sun-Dried Tomato Scones image

These cheese scones are made with sun dried tomatos which is a beautiful combination. You can also swap the tomato for black olives for something different. When cooked properly, these scones are slightly crispy on the outside and lovely and fluffy in the middle. Open them up when still warm and put butter, soft cheese etc inside or have them plain as they are just as nice! These scones freeze very well & are great for packed lunches and picnics etc.

Time 1h

Yield 20 scones, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

450 g self raising flour, plus extra for dusting surfaces
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons mixed dried Italian herb seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 220c/gas7. Lightly grease 2 baking trays. Sift the flour, peppers, mustard, salt & baking powder together in a bowl. Add the mixed herbs.

  • Beat the eggs in a measuring jug and add enough milk to make the quantity up to 275ml. Put 2 tbsp of milk/egg mix to one side and add the remainder to the flour mixture. Mix well to create a soft pliable dough. Add a little flour if it comes too sticky.

  • Add some spices: A little bit of spice can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your sun crisps. Try adding some chili powder, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the sun crisps on the baking sheet so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook until golden brown: The sun crisps are done cooking when they are golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.
  • Serve immediately: Sun crisps are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Sun crisps are a quick and easy snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover cheese and bread, and they can be customized to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create a delicious and unique snack that everyone will love.
