These are so yummy. All they need is a nice slice of butter in them!
Ingredients
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 tbsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp butter
½ Cup Grated Cheese
½ cup Pitted Olives – Halved
1 cup Milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 220C (or 450F)
In a mixer bowl, mix the flour, butter, baking powder and milk until well combined.
Add the olives and cheese and stir until evenly combined and you get a ball of dough.
Take the dough out of the bowl and place on a floured surface, sprinkle a little bit flour on top to ease the kneading; knead and flatten until it’s about ¾ inch (or 1½ cm) thick.
Using a small cup or a round cookie cutter, cut circles and place then onto the parchment paper covered baking sheet. Make sure they are not too close to each other to allow rising.
Bake for 10-20 minutes (depending on your oven) and remove from oven once golden brown.
Notes
You can also make these into larger slices like the traditional scones by simply using a pizza slicer and dividing into 8 slices instead of using cookie cutters.
