Ingredients
450g self raising flour
2 level teaspoons of baking powder
340g grated courgettes (grated with the skin on)
112g margarine
Approx 10 tablespoons of milk
112g grated cheddar cheese
Method
-
Preheat the oven Gas 7 / 220C / 425F
-
Put the grated courgettes in a clean tea towel or muslin and squeeze out as much juice as possible
-
In another bowl rub the margarine into the flour and baking powder until it looks like breadcrumbs
-
Add the grated cheese and courgette and mix, making sure the courgette doesn’t stick together in large lumps.
-
Add enough milk to make a soft dough that is not too sticky (add more flour if your dough is too sticky).
-
Make round shapes of about 1 cm in thickness (can use a cutter)
-
Place the scones on a greased baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes. They should be a nice golden brown and well risen.
