Description
Scone with Surprise Filling makes snack time anything but ordinary.
Ingredients
For the scone batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (1% works well)
- 1 cup sharp grated cheese
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 6 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp mustard powder
- Dash of cayenne pepper (to taste)
- Salt (adjust if using bacon filling)
For the filling (optional):
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Black pepper, to taste
- 50 ml bacon bits (or any meat of choice)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin well.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, milk, cheeses, baking powder, mustard powder, cayenne, and salt. Let the batter rest 5 minutes until slightly foamy.
For a hidden filling:
- Fill each muffin well halfway, add 1 tsp filling, then cover with another teaspoon of batter.
- Or bake plain scones, scoop out the center after baking, add filling, and return to oven for 2–3 minutes.
- Or skip the filling and bake them plain.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, until golden. Test with a skewer or knitting needle—if it comes out clean, they’re ready.
For the filling:
- Whisk eggs with pepper. Stir in bacon or the meat of choice.
- Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway. It should be soft but not overcooked.
Use as your surprise filling before or after baking.
