Pesto Scones

Weigh out: 

8 oz Flour

2 oz Sunflower spread

1 tsp Cream of tartar

1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and rub in the fat until the mixture resembles bread crumbs

Measure out: 

140 ml of plain yogurt or milk or half and half (Soya or dairy) 

2-3 tbs Pesto (30-45 ml)

Mix the yogurt (or milk) and the pesto well

Create a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the pesto & yogurt mixture and stir together gently, don't over mix otherwise you end up with heavy scones!

Once the mixture has bound together cut out 6 scones (3 cm diameter) and bake in a preheated hot oven (180 C with fan) for 15 minutes (or longer if making bigger scones). 

Serve with soup as an alternative to bread; or with cheese and salad.....
