Ingredients

Savoury scones are easy to make, perfect to keep in the freezer to have on hand and are delicious when served with a soup or salad. They also are great to pack in lunches, for road trips or to enjoy as a teatime snack. Try the Cheddar Herb Scones with the addition of Basil Greek Yogurt Cheese Spread.

  • 2 cups (500 mL) oat flour
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) ground almonds or ground flaxseed
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded old cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped roasted red pepper, patted dry
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh parsley or basil or 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter, very cold
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp (250 mL plus 30 mL) OIKOS High Protein Plain Greek Yogurt

Topping:

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) OIKOS High Protein Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) water
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) sesame or flax seeds (optional)

Preparation

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Preheat oven to 425ºF (220ºC).

In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, almonds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a fork, stir in cheese, pepper and parsley to distribute evenly.

Using a box grater, grate butter into same bowl and with a fork, stir in evenly. Add yogurt and stir just until the dough comes together (it will look ragged/shaggy).

Gather the dough and place on floured work surface. Knead gently and pat it out until dough is 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Fold it over into thirds. Pat the dough out into a 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick 8-inch (20 cm) round. Cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges onto prepared baking sheet.

Topping: Whisk yogurt and water together. Brush yogurt mixture over top of scone wedges and sprinkle with seeds, if using. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
