Just take them to the egg wash and sesame seed stage and freeze till needed. Defrost then follow the method for baking. This version gives a slightly more grown up take on the classic with tangy goat’s cheese, salty anchovies, with the addition of aromatic fennel seeds and a hit of heat from dried chilli.

Wensleydale Cheese Scones
As picnic season approaches, these favourites of ours, make an excellent addition to a picnic. Best eaten on the day they’re baked, or run them through an oven to refresh them the next. We love them sliced in half and filled with a fresh curd cheese or cream cheese, a sweet onion marmalade and some peppery rocket leaves.
Blueberry and Bay Water Kefir
Water kefir is a probiotic, naturally fizzy, fermented drink that tastes rather like lemonade, but milder. These non-alcoholic fermented drinks have grown in popularity in recent years, known for their gut-loving properties, natural fizz and interesting flavours. It relies on a natural SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) for fermentation.
Asparagus and Courgette Filo Slice
