Protein Scones

Preparation

• 1

  Preheat the oven to 200° C.

• 2

  Put all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, Whey Protein) into a bowl and stir well.

• 3

  Add the margarine. Briefly knead with your hands, just until the mixture starts to stick together as a crumbly mass.

• 4

  Add the buttermilk and stir with a spoon or spatula to make a smooth dough.

• 5

  Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Form it into a large ball. Roll into a 3-cm-thick mass. Use a circle cutter or a glass to cut out circles. Keep gathering the dough back together and re-rolling it until you have 6 scones.

• 6

  Put the scones onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the top of each scone with egg. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

• 7

  Set the protein scones aside to cool. When it’s teatime, cut open and top with quark (fromage frais) and jam.
