weekend baking \\ spinach and feta scones

scones is one of my favourite choice of food for morning/afternoon tea. the baker's delight at Carlingford Court has a huge variety from good old traditional plain scones to date scones to chocolate ones too. they used to make savoury ones too and the spinach and feta is my favourite. 15 seconds in the microwave and a smear of butter. yum. it's a shame they don't make it anymore. i've been thinking about making it myself. after checking out the many recipes on pinterest, i combined a few recipes and came up with my own version. 

whilst they didn't rise as high as the ones from baker's delight, they taste pretty close to the real deal and i'll definitely make them again. 

ingredients //

400g self raising flour
50g butter (at room temperature, cut into cubes) 
150g danish feta (broken into small pieces)
125g frozen spinach (thawed)
250ml milk 

method //

pre heat oven to 180c. line a baking tray with non stick baking paper

using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine sand.

add spinach and feta into the flour mixture and mix lightly with a fork.

make a well in the centre, add milk and mix together to form a dough and turn out onto a floured surface.

press the dough into a big square with your hands to 5cm thickness. using a knife lightly coated with flour, cut out 9 scones.

brush the tops with milk. arrange the scones on the baking tray in a way that they are touching each other slightly and bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 - 25 mins or until the top is golden.
