We’re all quite familiar with using herbs in savoury recipes but they can also be used to add a twist to sweet ones too. These Thyme Scones are delicious served warm with butter but also with lemon curd. Our recipe was as follows:
225g self-raising flour
40g butter
1/2 tsp salt
15 g caster sugar
110ml Milk
Fresh Thyme or Lemon Thyme to taste (5g was used in the batch we photographed but up to 3 times this could easily be used)
Rub the butter into the flour until it looks like fine breadcrumbs, mix in the salt, sugar and thyme and then blend the milk in until it all binds together. Roll out to about 2-3cm deep and then cut into circles, mix the cut offs up and re-roll until all dough is used. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, brush with beaten egg and cook at 200c (400F) for approximately 15 mins
