Hairy Bikers scones with maple syrup and buttermilk recipe on Teatime Treats

Si and Dave makes delicious looking scones with maple syrup and buttermilk for a Teatime Treat.

The ingredients are: 300g self-raising flour, 100g medium oatmeal, plus extra for dusting, 100g wholemeal flour, 50g caster sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, 160g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing, 100g walnuts, roughly chopped, 125ml buttermilk and 150ml maple syrup.

To prepare the scones, preheat the oven to 200C.

Mix the self-raising flour, oatmeal, wholemeal flour, caster sugar, baking powder and the salt in a bowl to combine.

Add the butter and rub into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Fold in the walnuts.

Place the buttermilk and maple syrup into a separate bowl and mix well.

Add the buttermilk and maple syrup mixture to the dry mixture and mix well to make a dough.

Roll the dough out on a floured work surface to 3cm/1½in thick. Using a pastry cutter, cut out 12 scones (or as many as the dough will provide).

Place onto a greased baking tray and transfer to the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden-brown.
