Serves Makes 12

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

250 g flour
1 T baking powder
½ t salt
50 g caster sugar
80 g frozen butter
½ cup amasi or buttermilk
1 free-range egg
butter, jam and cream, for serving
icing sugar, for dusting

Method

1. Place the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Grate in the butter and rub into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

2. Mix in the buttermilk using a butter knife until the mixture comes together. Gently bring together using your hands.

3. Pat out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp cookie cutter, cut out rounds and place on a baking tray. Chill while preheating the oven to 200°C.

4. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with butter, jam and whipped cream, dusted with icing sugar.

Cook’s note: To sharpen cookie cutters, use a knife steel to sharpen the cut side.
