Feta and Zaatar Yoghurt Scones

Zaatar needs more hype. Enter these scones.

The saltiness of the feta plus the cumin-y, coriander-y, herby zaatar equals just pure yumminess. And bonus little fun fact- no rubbing butter into flour with these babies! Just a one bowl and clean bench needed for these scones. Great for lunch, snacks and whenever you want something fab to eat (I have a batch in the freezer so I can take them to school throughout the week).

Recipe- Makes 6 scones

Ingredients

150g self raising flour

100g wholemeal self raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

50g crumbled feta cheese

3 tsp zaatar, plus extra for sprinkling on top

210g natural yoghurt

60g olive oil

milk, to brush

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large flat tray with baking paper.

In a bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, cheese and zaatar and mix until combined. Add the yoghurt and oil, and combine by cutting the mixture with a butter knife and gently mixing (this will stop too much gluten from forming).

Turn out the shaggy dough onto a clean bench and push into a 4cm (around an inch) thick rectangle. Cut into 6 smaller rectangles and place on the lined tray.

Brush with a thin layer of milk, then sprinkle with extra zaatar. Bake for around 20 minutes, or until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, and are starting to get golden.
