Braaied scones

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

450 g self-raising flour
¼ t salt
100 g cold butter, cubed
85 g caster sugar
1¼ cup buttermilk
1 cup cultured crème fraîche
blueberry or blackberry jam, for serving

Method

Place the flour, salt, butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and rub together using your fingertips until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs.

Add the buttermilk and use a wooden spoon to just bring the mixture together to form a dough. Place on a floured surface and shape into a ball, then gently roll out into a thickness of 3–4 cm. 3

Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds of dough, then place on a braai grid over low coals and cook undisturbed for 20 minutes, or until the scones have a slightly charred crust.

Gently turn and cook the other side for a further 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden.

Serve with the crème fraîche and spoonfuls of blackberry jam.
