3 cups flour
1 tbs sugar
½ tsp salt
2 & ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp ground pepper
½ tsp baking soda
170 g cold unsalted butter, chopped into small cubes
1 egg beaten
¾ cup cold Greek yogurt or sour cream
3 tbs cold water
1/3 cup chopped mint
¾ cup finely grated halloumi
sea salt, ground pepper & paprika for sprinkling on top
1. Preheat the oven to 200C. Line 1 large baking sheet with baking paper.
2. Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, ground pepper, baking soda in a large bowl and stir together with a fork to ensure it is combined.
3. Quickly mix the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture with your hands – it will look very crumbly.
4. In another small bowl, combine the egg, cold sour cream and cold water. Mix together with a fork until it just comes together.
5. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture all at once. Mix the flour mixture with your hands a few times. Then add the halloumi and mint. Mix together in the bowl until a soft dough forms and turn it onto a flat surface.
6. Pat the dough out so that it is 1 inch thick. Then cut pieces approximately 1 inch by 2 inch and place onto the baking sheet.
7. Sprinkle generously with paprika, and a little salt and pepper.
8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until slightly golden brown on top
These scones sound so delicious and refreshing, especially with the smoked paprika and mint!
