Spinach Scones


Weigh out: 
8 oz Flour
2 oz Sunflower spread
1 tsp Cream of tartar
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
3 oz  of cooked spinach (Fresh or frozen) chopped finely

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and rub in the fat until the mixture resembles bread crumbs
Add the cooked chopped spinach and mix, there should be enough juice from the spinach to enable the creation of a dough, if not add a little milk - don't worry if you add too much you'll just need to make them in a muffin tray or spoon dollops of the mixture straight onto the tray. 

Cut out and place onto a tray and bake in a hot oven for around 15 minutes.
