Recipe

Bring Mediterranean sunshine to traditional English scones! Salty feta cheese, fresh herbs, and a tender crumb come together in these savory scones—perfect with soup or salad, or enjoyed alone as a brunch treat. Your Geedel hand vegetable chopper instantly chops hard cheese and fresh herbs and evenly mixes them, and also quickly blends wet ingredients, greatly simplifying the baking process.

Ingredients:  

2 cups all-purpose flour  

1 tablespoon baking powder  

½ teaspoon salt  

¼ cup cold butter, cubed  

150g feta cheese  

2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley  

1 egg  

⅔ cup milk or buttermilk  

Instructions:  

1. Process dry ingredients and flavor add-ins:  

   Cut the feta cheese and fresh herbs into large chunks. Install the chopping blade in your Geedel manual food chopper.  

   Add the cheese and herbs, and pulse a few times until coarsely chopped into small pieces—retaining some texture. Transfer to a large bowl.  

   Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix lightly with a fork or your hands.

2. Cut in the butter:  

   Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture in the bowl. For the key step: scoop portions of the flour-butter mixture into the chopper container and pulse quickly until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and the butter is evenly cut in. Return all processed mixture to the bowl.

3. Mix wet ingredients:  

   Empty the container and switch to the mixing paddle. Crack in the egg and pour in the milk. Close the lid and turn the handle for a few seconds until the egg-milk mixture is well blended.

4. Shape and bake:

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a fork, gently stir until just combined into a shaggy dough—do not overmix. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and fold gently 2–3 times. Pat into a round about 2.5 cm thick.  

   Cut into 6–8 wedges with a knife and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little milk or beaten egg.  

   Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for 12–15 minutes, until risen and golden on top.

Summary:

These savory scones are a model of creative baking. The Geedel manual chopper not only quickly prepares the flavor core but also innovatively assists in “cutting in” the butter, ensuring the perfect flaky texture. Even baking beginners can confidently achieve professional-quality quick breads with this efficient tool.
