SPINACH FETA SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and red pepper flakes.
• In a medium skillet add the spinach and olive oil. Cook until the spinach is mostly wilted. Remove to a cutting board and chop. Add the chopped cooked spinach to the flour mixture and work it in with your hands until it's evenly incorporated. Work the feta cheese in the same way.
• Using a pastry cutter or a cheese grater, cut the butter into the flour. Work it in with your hands until coarse crumbles about the size of a pea are formed.
• You can chill for a few minutes at this point or go ahead and pour in the milk. Gently work the milk into the dough until it just comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead two to three times, and then pat it out to about 3/4" thick. Cut the dough into 20-24 2" circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk together the egg and water and brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Bake for 20 minutes.

MEDITERRANEAN SCONES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Butter a large baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Rub in the butter with the oil, until the mixture resembles fine crumbs, then add the tomatoes, cheese and olives. Make a well in the centre, pour in the milk and mix with a knife, using a cutting movement, until it becomes a soft 'stickyish' dough. (Use all the milk - it helps give a light texture.) Don't overhandle the dough.
• Flour your hands and the work surface well, and shape the dough into a round, about 3-4cm thick. Cut into eight wedges and place them well apart on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 15-20 mins until risen, golden and springy to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack and cover with a clean tea towel to keep them soft. These are best served warm and buttered. Will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
