Fluffy Spelt Scones

Fluffy Spelt Scones

Recipe by Diana Chan

Serves – 8
Prep Time – 30 mins
Cook Time – 15 mins

Ingredients

2 cups Coles Organic Spelt wholemeal flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup cold Norco unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
¼ cup Coles dried apricots, chopped
¼ cup Coles raisins
¾ cup Jalna Organic Biodynamic Dairy Yoghurt (or more if needed)

To Serve

½ cup dollop cream
¼ cup raspberry jam (or any jam of your choice)

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

In a food processor, combine the spelt flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (this can also be done by hand).

Mix in the dried apricots and raisins. Create a well in the centre of the dry mixture and add the Jalna Organic Biodynamic Dairy Yoghurt. Use a spatula to mix until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for about 30 seconds until smooth.

Pat or roll the dough into a circle about 1.5 cm thick and cut it into 8 triangles using a floured pastry cutter.

Place the scones on the prepared baking tray and spread a little yoghurt on top.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly browned.

Serve warm with dollop cream and raspberry jam, along with extra Jalna Organic Biodynamic Dairy Yoghurt if desired. Enjoy!

Banana Blueberry Pancakes

Banana Blueberry Pancakes

Recipe By Lynton Tapp

Ingredients

• 2 cups Coles self raising flour

• 3 tbsp raw sugar

• pinch of salt

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp all spice 

• 3 overripe bananas

• 1 cup of milk

• 1/2 cup of Jalna Greek-style yoghurt

• 2 tbs vegetable oil

• unsalted butter for cooking

• Jalna Greek-style yoghurt to serve

• 1 punnet of fresh blueberries

• Coles maple syrup

Method

• Start the recipe by sifting the self raising flour and baking powder into a large bowl, before adding a pinch of salt, the all spice and raw sugar. Set this bowl aside for now.

• In a seperate bowl add the bananas and mash with the back of a fork before adding the milk, yoghurt and vegetable oil. Add this mixture into the flour mix and gently fold the mix together using a spatula until just combined.

• Preheat a large non-stick pan over medium heat before adding a dollop of butter. Cover the base of the pan with the butter by swirling the pan. Now add your desired amount of pancake batter to the pan and cook for 2 minutes per side. You know when the pancake is ready to flip because you will start to see bubbles forming on the top side. Continue cooking the pancake batter following this process until you have made your desired amount, hopefully all of it, before placing the cooked pancakes onto a plate.
