Avocado Paprika and Capsicum Scones

These colourful savoury scones are perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients make 14

500 g self raising flour

10 g salt

1 tsp sweet paprika

200 g avocado

250 g milk

50 g eggs

100 g red capsicum finely chopped

100 g green capsicum finely chopped

Method

Preheat oven to 200ºC fan forced (220ºC normal bake). Combine flour, salt and paprika in a large bowl. Add the avocado flesh and use your hands to rub into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Place milk, egg, and chopped capsicum in a separate bowl before adding it to the flour mixture. Mixed to dough, turn onto a lightly floured surface and press out to a thickness of approx. 25mm. Cut scones with a cutter 5 cm. in diameter. Place on lightly greased flat baking tray and bake in the oven approx. 12 min.

Note: Try cayenne pepper instead of sweet paprika for extra zing.
