Kalamata Olives, Italian Parsley And Feta Scones


2 cups all purpose unbleached white flour
6 tablespoons frozen unsalted butter
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup feta crumbles
1/3 cups black/kalamata olives, chopped into small pieces
1/2 cup fresh cream
1 egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly. Add feta crumbles, kalamata/black olives and Italian parsley. Lightly mix to combine. Set aside.
  
Mix cream and egg in a separate bowl. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.

Pat dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a round pastry cutter or a drinking glass (make sure to flour the edge first) and cut into pieces roughly 2 inches in diameter (they expand). Place on a cookie sheet spaced 2 inches apart. Should yield 9 scones.

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Hi Sawsan! It's lovely to meet the person behind your great blog that I really love. This is really delicious. I serve this instead of the usual dinner rolls when I have people over and other savory variations.

Mia this is one of those posts that set my synapses firing. I am thinking along the lines of using this almost as a "crouton" along side a Greek salad

I slice them into thick strips as part of a cheese plate with fresh fruit when I get people over or warm with salads instead of the usual dinner rolls. I like your idea too! Perfect with a greek salad, diced and baked again so it's warm on the salad.
