  • 40g sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped 
  • 150ml buttermilk 
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 50g unsalted cold butter
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 60g chorizo, small cubes

  • 150ml buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.

Mix together your flour, salt, baking powder and butter either in a food processor or by hand, turning it into breadcrumbs. The trick to scones is to handle them as little as possible, so I love using the food processor for this stage so my warm hands don’t melt the butter.

Pour into a bowl and add your oregano, chorizo, tomatoes and mozzarella. Quickly toss through so the ingredients are dispersed.

Then add your buttermilk and using a knife mix it together until it has JUST combined.  Remember – don’t overwork your dough!

Flatten your dough to an even 4cm thickness on a lightly floured surface and, using a cookie cutter, stamp out your scones.

Brush with beaten egg and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.

Smother with butter whilst warm for the best savoury scone!
