Ingredients
- 25g/1oz butter, plus extra for greasing
- 125g/4½oz self raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 25g/1oz caster sugar
- 16 fresh blackberries
- 80-100ml/3-3½fl oz buttermilk
- plain yoghurt, to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 220C/450F/Gas 7. Grease a baking tray with butter.
In a bowl, rub the butter and flour together using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar. Gently stir in the blackberries.
Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring well until the mixture starts to come together as a dough without being sticky. You may not need to use all of the buttermilk.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly dusted work surface and roll into a ball. Roll out the dough ball to a thickness of 1.5cm/½in.
Cut circles from the dough using a cookie cutter and arrange onto the baking tray, leaving a gap between each. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden-brown.
Serve with a dollop of yoghurt on top.
