This blog is the rantings and ravings of a keen amateur cook who is desperate to loose weight by finding and making tasty and interesting food that is low in fat and calories. Along with watching and counting calolries I have also been doing a lot of cardio vascular exercise making sure I more than burnt the calories I am consuming.

Cheese and chilli Wholemeal scone (160 kcal per scone)
This recipe should make around 6 scones
Preheat oven to 220c, fan oven to 200c, 425f or gas mark 7
200g/8oz Wholemeal flour.
3tsp baking powder.
1/4 tsp salt.
50g/2oz light butter/spread (I use lurpak light).
150mls/5fl 1% milk.
Handful of grated low fat cheese (or to taste).
1 Birdseye chilli finely chopped(or more if you like it hot!.
Add flour, baking powder, cheese, chilli and salt into a mixing bowl and give it a stir.
Add the butter and rub mixture in until butter is mixed in and the mixture is fine in consistency.
Add half the milk and mould into a ball adding more slowly until you have a well formed ball of dough Leave to rest for 15 mins.
Take handfuls of dough and mould them into scone shapes, they will grow a third in size.
Scatter some flour over a baking tray and place the scones on making sure they don't stick to the tray.
Wash the tops with a little 1% milk.
Pop in oven for about 10 minutes, tops will be hard and if poked with a knife the knife should come out clean.
