Got some leftover veg to use up? Have a swede still lurking in the bottom of your fridge? Here is the perfect recipe to use it up! They are perfect for a delicious ploughmans’ lunch.
YOU WILL NEED:
1 tsp salt, 375g flour, plus extra for dusting,
3 tsp baking powder,
200g of mashed swede,
25g mixed fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley etc),
250ml milk,
25g grated Davidstow cheese
* Items in bold available to buy from www.thecornishfoodboxcompany.co.uk (some items seasonal so not available year round)
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 220C. Grease and line a baking tray.
Mix the dry ingredients together and add the swede, herbs, and most if the cheese (reserve enough to top the scones).
Gradually add the milk until it forms a stiff dough (you may need more or less milk).
Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat out to flatten to about 2cm thick. Use a cutter to stamp out the scones.
Sprinkle each scone with a little cheese and place on the prepared baking tray. 6. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden-brown.
Serve buttered with Cornish cheeses, chutney, and salad.
