Description

These Sage Spiral Scones offer a comforting twist on traditional tea-time treats. By rolling the dough into a log and slicing it, you create beautiful concentric circles of fluffy pastry, bright green parsley, and melted cheddar cheese. The earthy aroma of fresh sage complements the sharpness of the cheese perfectly. They are ideal for a hearty brunch, a savory afternoon snack, or as an elegant side dish alongside a creamy soup. The texture is tender yet slightly crisp on the outside, with a soft, steamy interior. Simple to assemble with pantry staples, these scones provide a warm, homemade feel that guests will appreciate.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas Mark 7.
  2. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
  3. Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  5. Stir in the milk and mix gently to form a soft dough, adding a little extra liquid if necessary.
  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 12-inch square.
  7. Sprinkle the grated cheese and chopped parsley evenly over the dough.
  8. Brush the edges of the dough with a little milk to help it seal.
  9. Roll up the dough tightly like a Swiss roll to enclose the cheese and herbs.
  10. Slice the roll into twelve equal pieces.
  11. Place the slices cut-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Brush the tops of the scones with milk.
  13. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
