How to Make Mini Herbed Scones With Smoked Salmon
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. (Return any husks from the wholemeal flour to the bowl)
- Finely chop 2 tbsp fresh parsley, 2 tbsp fresh dill, and 2 tbsp fresh chives.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chopped parsley, dill, and chives.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup milk, mixing gently with a flat bladed knife until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form into a ball.
- Roll out the dough to 18cm in diameter.
- Use a 4.5cm round cookie cutter to cut out scones. Dip the cutter in flour between cuts to prevent sticking.
- Gather the scraps, gently roll them out again, and cut out more scones until all the dough is used. You should have approximately 12 scones.
- Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1cm between each.
- Sprinkle the scones lightly with extra flour.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Transfer scones to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- While the scones are baking, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, the zest and juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 1/2 tsp dill, and 1 1/2 tsp parsley.
- To assemble: Split the cooled scones in half. Spread a spoonful of the sour cream mixture onto each half.
- Sprinkle with remaining dill and parsley. Top with several pieces of smoked salmon and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
