Black Tea Sesame and Pecan Scones

Using Tea as the liquid adds extra flavour to these healthy scones.

Ingredients make 15

500 g self raising flour

100 g caster sugar

5 g salt

50 g Flax seed

50 g sesame seed

110 g toasted pecan finely chopped

150 g unsalted butter

300 ml black tea

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Combine flour, sugar, salt, flax seed, sesame seeds and pecan in a large bowl. Add butter and use your hands to rub into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Add tea to the flour mixture and combined to dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and pat the dough into a 3 cm thickness. Cut out the scones with a 5cm scone cutter and transfer to a lightly floured tray. Bake for approx 12 min. until golden brown on top and cooked through. Dust with icing sugar.

Note: Try using brown sugar instead of caster sugar or use wholemeal flour and baking powder instead of self raising flour.
