Onion soup and cheese scones
When life throws you expiring onions, make soup!
6 onions peeled and sliced
Butter
White wine, a healthy splash
Beef stock cubes
In a soup pan, gently sauté the onions in butter for 30 mins until lovely and golden. I covered the pan, and if they
start to stick too early add a splash of wine. Have some yourself if it's not your watch..
Add 1L of water and equivalent stock cubes as per the dilution on the packet and bring to a gentle simmer for about 1hr.
Serve sprinkled with cheese and crusty bread, or it is also delicious with...
Yoghurt Cheese scones
250g SR flour
Pinch salt
50g butter
150g natural yoghurt
1 egg
75g grated cheese
Herbs / cayenne pepper added are also good!
Preheat oven to 225C
Rub butter into sifted flour and salt, then stir in cheese. Add herbs now if doing so.
Mix egg and yoghurt together and add to flour to make a soft dough.
Roll out to 2.5cm thick and cut into about 5cm rounds.
Pop everything onto a baking tray, especially the offcuts as they make tasty cheesy crunchy things..
Brush with milk or egg and bake at top of oven for 10 mins.
