- 1. Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C Fan/ Gas 4/350F
- 2. Into your Kenwood mixing bowl, fitted with the kBeater add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix for a few seconds until blended.
- 3. To this add the butter and mix slowly until you are left with a texture that resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- 4. At this point, add the egg, buttermilk, grated courgette, chopped parsley, crumbled goats cheese and pinenuts. Mix to combine but do not over mix.
- 5. Turn out onto a floured work surface and roll out so the mix is roughly 2 inches thick.
- 6. Dip a 5cm round scone cutter in flour and cut out 12 scones trying to use as much of the dough as possible.
- 7. Place these scones on a lined baking tray and egg wash the top.
- 8. Pop into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- 9. Once the scones are baked, remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.
- 10. Delicious served warm with a knob of butter or goats cheese!
