Tahini Sunflower Seed Scones image

These savoury scones use tahini in place of butter, which makes them quite healthy and also gives them a unique taste. They do have a slight sweetness and a lovely crunch from (roasted) sunflower seeds. Very yummy! You could use peanut butter and peanuts or cashew butter and cashews or almond butter and almonds, too. Whatever floats your boat. :)

Time 25m

Yield 9 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (I use spelt)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
9 tablespoons tahini or 9 tablespoons nut butter
1/2 cup roasted sunflower seeds or 1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 egg
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • Combine flours, sugar, salt and baking powder until well blended.
  • Add tahini or nut butter by tbs, covering each spoonful with flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or wire whisk, cut tahini or nut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in roasteed sunflower seeds or chopped nuts of your choice.
  • In a separate bowl combine egg and milk and whisk until blended. Pour into tahini flour mixture reserving 1 tbs full for glaze and combine until just blended.
  • On a floured surface flatten dough using your hands or a rolling pin. Using a glass cut out scones of desired size.
  • Place on a paper-lined baking sheet and glaze with reserved egg mixture. If you like sprinkle some seeds or chopped nuts on top.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes until slightly golden on top. Enjoy!

I'm not a huge fan of tahini, but these scones were surprisingly good. The sunflower seeds added a nice crunch and the scones were nice and fluffy.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more liquid next time.

These scones were a delightful surprise! The combination of tahini and sunflower seeds gave them a unique and nutty flavor. The texture was perfect - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
