Ingredients for Buttery Biltong & Cheese Scones:
100g butter
1 packet of Biltong Sprinkle
275g self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon Royal Baking Powder
150ml milk
50ml vegetable oil
1 egg
150g grated cheddar
a handful of chives
1 teaspoon sea salt
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C for fan and grease a 12 hole muffin tin (or 2 x 6 hole).
Combine the flour, baking powder, and sea salt, before adding the butter in with your fingertips. It’s ready once it takes on the look and feel of breadcrumbs.
Put the flour aside and whisk the milk, oil and egg together in a separate bowl.
Gently stir the milk mixture into the flour, before adding the biltong, cheese and chives.
TIP: Before adding the biltong, make sure all the flour is incorporated, but don’t be alarmed if there are some lumps.
Spoon the batter into the muffin holes and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Best served warm.
