Ingredients:
-
3 cups self-raising flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
pinch cayenne pepper
-
50g butter, chilled, chopped
-
1/2 cup mixed herbs (such as oregano, rosemary and dill), finely chopped
-
1/3 cup grated light tasty cheese
-
1 cup reduced-fat milk
-
1/3 cup natural yogurt
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
-
100g 97% fat-free shaved leg ham
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease a baking tray butter.
-
Sift flour into a large bowl. Add salt, cayenne pepper and pepper. Mix well to combine. Add butter. Using your hands, rub butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
-
Add herbs and cheese to flour mixture. Stir well to combine. Add milk. Mix with a flat-bladed knife until a soft dough forms. Knead lightly on a floured surface. Pat dough into a 2cm-thick round. Using a round cookie cutter, cut into 12 rounds. Place rounds close together on a baking tray.

Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden and well-risen. Set aside on baking tray to cool slightly.
- Combine yoghurt, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Halve scones. Top 12 halves with shaved ham and chive mixture. Sandwich together with remaining scone halves. Serve.
