Ingredients

• 250 grams self-raising flour
• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 150 milliliters milk
• 150 grams smoked salmon
• 100 grams mixed salad greens
• 100 grams cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour and add the salt. Cut the butter into cubes and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour in the milk gradually. Mix gently with a butter knife or spoon until it forms a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough lightly for about 30 seconds, then roll it out to about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thickness.

Step 5

Using a 5 cm (2-inch) round cutter, cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather leftover dough, re-roll, and cut out more until all dough is used.

Step 6

Brush the tops of the scones lightly with a small amount of milk for a golden finish.

Step 7

Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they have risen and are lightly golden on top. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, lemon juice, freshly chopped dill, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.

Step 9

To assemble, slice the scones in half horizontally. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom half. Top with mixed salad greens, a slice of smoked salmon, and a small sprig of dill for garnish.

Step 10

Place the top half of the scone back on and serve immediately. Enjoy your freshly made Salad Scones with Salmon!
