Recipe: Never Fail Savoury Scones

Ingredients

• 3 cups self-raising flour
• cream
• diced bacon
• large bunch parsley
• grated tasty cheese
• sundried tomatoes (packed in oil)

Method

In a bowl, combine flour with sufficient cream to make a dough. Dice tomatoes and chop parsley and add along with small handful bacon and cheese. Do not over mix. Lightly flour work area and pat out the dough until it is about 3cm thick. Dip a glass in flour and use this to cut out the scones. Re-dip glass after each scone to prevent sticking. Place scones on greased baking tray and bake at 200 degrees C for about 15 minutes. Serve buttered warm and garnished with a sprig of parsley. Any parsley left over can be finely chopped and frozen in ice cube trays for later use.

Parsley

Growing requirements etc. Great for pots or use as an edging plant in your flower bed for something a little bit different. There are two types, Italian which has a flatter leaf and excellent flavour and Curly, which is more decorative but not quite as flavoursome. Both are full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
