2 Savoury Scone Recipes
Pizza & Caramelised Onion Scones

These are made from the same batch of scone dough, or you can double the quantities and make them separately. By keeping them on the small side, they make ideal replacements for dinner rolls, but you can also make them larger and heartier; it's up to you.

2 cups of sifted self-raising flour with a pinch of salt added.
60 g softened butter or margarine

1/2 cup of grated mozzarella cheese

Ingredients for caramelised onion and cheese scones

5. On a well floured board, push the one half of dough out into a rectangular shape about 25 x 30 cm. Mixture should be approximately 1 cm high.

Pizza scones.
1. Smear tomato paste over dough leaving approximately 1.5 cm free at the edges.
2. Sprinkle over olives, basil and mozzarella.
3. Roll up carefully pressing end gently into dough to hold together.

These would be ideal to have with soup or a casserole.
