A wonderful Savoury addition to an afternoon tea.

Ingredients

2 cups self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

Pukara Estate Olive and Pepper Smoked Salt

120g grated cheddar cheese

300mL full cream milk

1 tbls butter

1 tbls Pukara Estate Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil

200mL creme fraiche

Small bunch finely chopped chives

Small handful chopped parsley

Pukara Estate Capsicum and Chilli Jam for serving

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C. In a small bowl, combine the creme fraiche, chopped chives, and parsley, and season well. Cover and refrigerate until needed. In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. Add a good pinch of smoked salt. Add the butter and work with your fingers until the mixture resembles crumbs. Gradually add the milk until it forms a dough. Stir through the cheese and Basil olive oil. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Roll out the dough to 2cm thick and cut using a round dough cutter (approx. 6cm). Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 12 minutes. Serve warm as part of a high tea banquet with a dollop of herb creme fraiche and a big spoonful of Pukara Estate Capsicum and Chilli Jam.
