Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups spelt flour, type 630 (180 g)
- 1 1/4 cups fine cut oats (125 g)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil (alternatively 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (alternatively 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (about 1 small organic lemon)
- 113 g unsalted butter, frozen and grated with a box grater (see notes)
- 85 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 40 g roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes (5-6 halves)
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup milk of choice (I use unsweetened soy milk) (80 ml)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (unfiltered)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F /230°C degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and dried herbs. (Note: If using fresh herbs add them along with the rest of the fresh ingredients).
- Work the grated butter into the flour mixture until crumbs are formed (I use my hands to do this but a pastry cutter can also be used). Stir in the green onion, garlic, sun-dried tomato and crumbled feta cheese.
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the, milk and apple cider vinegar, whisk together to combine.
- Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until JUST combined. Do not over mix!
- Place the dough on a clean surface (or directly on the prepared baking sheet) and using your hands, work the dough into a round disc that measures about 20 cm across and about 2,5cm high. With a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 equal triangles.
- Place them onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, until scones are well risen and golden on the bottom.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cold with butter, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
- The oats can also be replaced with an equal amount of Bio Zarte Basis Müsli (Bauck).
- To get a really golden scone, feel free to brush with an egg wash before placing in the oven.
