Have Scones, Will Travel

These scones are great to pack for lunch boxes or day trips because they don’t have to be kept cold they stay yummy all day! Healthy savoury snacks that travel well are not always easy to find. Typically savoury snacks that are quick and do not spoil come in the form of a bag of crisps or salty crackers. These cheese and onion scones give you the opportunity to switch things up a bit.

Serving Suggestions

If you’re home, it’s amazing to top these scones with plain greek yoghurt or a little sour cream. Looking for more fun ideas? You can top these scones with almost anything from cheese and yoghurt to eggs or even hummus! For babies and toddlers who like to “dip” you can serve with a few of their favourite dip options on the side!

Freezer Friendly

Have I mentioned that these savoury snacks are freezer friendly? Well, they are and they are a lifesaver for quick after school snacks(or during homeschooling). Just take them out of the freezer, wrap in a paper towel and pop them in the microwave for 15-25 seconds. Boom, after school snack!

Whether you serve these savoury scones as a fun scone sandwich or a healthy appetizer, it’s sure to be a hit with your little ones. Sometimes keeping things simple to start is the best way when introducing new foods to your baby. Scones are simple to make and easy to serve.

The best savory snack you've ever made! This savory finger food is freezer friendly and easy for babies and toddlers to feed themselves!

Ingredients

200 g plain flour plus extra for dusting
50 g whole wheat flour
1 tsp bread soda
1 teaspoon garlic powder
40 g 1/3 cup soft butter
5-6 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
1 medium white onion finely diced
2 spring onions
70 g grated cheddar cheese
150 ml Greek Yogurt
1 egg plus extra for brushing
To serve: Sour Cream + Sprinkle finely sliced Spring Onion

Method

Pre-heat oven to 200ºC ( 400ºF)
Add the flour, bread soda, and garlic powder to a bowl and stir well, then using your fingers rub in the butter until it starts to resemble fine breadcrumbs, then stir in the thyme leaves, onion, and spring onions.
In a jug whisk together the egg and yogurt, then make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg and yogurt. Mix well until it forms a dough. If it is too sticky just add a little extra flour until it comes together like a dough.
Empty onto a floured worktop and knead gently, then cut out scones, or if you don’t have a cutter roll dough and cut with a knife.
Placed onto a floured tray and brush over a little extra egg. Bake for 15 minutes until golden.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of spring onion.
