Buttermilk Lime and Coriander Scones

Fresh lime and coriander with buttermilk gives these scones an extraordinary refreshing flavour.

Ingredients make 15

450 g self raising flour

100 g caster sugar

10 g salt

100 g unsalted butter

300 ml buttermilk

1 lime zest and juice (70 ml)

¼ bunch finely chopped coriander leaves

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan forced oven on 200ºC). Combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your hands to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Add lime zest and juice to the buttermilk before adding it 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 5 cm scone cutter and transfer to a lightly floured baking tray. Space approx. a centimeter apart and bake for approx 12 min. Dust with icing sugar

Note: For a variation try orange and ginger instead of lime and coriander.
