Below is a great recipe for scones that you can cook in batches and then freeze to eat when you want…

Courgette and Cheese scones

1 medium courgette
1 cup (250g) Wholewheat flour, sieved (I used spelt)
1/2 coarsely grated vintage cheddar or blue cheese
1/4 cup (3 tbsp) finely chopped chives or parsley
1/2 cup (125mls) of  buttermilk or milk of your choice with a dash of lemon
Ssea salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly flour an oven tray. Coarsely grate the zucchini, wrap in paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
Combine courgette, flour, cheddar or blue cheese, chives and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add the buttermilk and mix with your hands until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 2cm-thick piece.
Use a 5 cm-round pastry cutter dipped in flour to cut out rounds from dough or simply turn a glass upside down and use that!
Knead remaining dough and continue cutting until you have 16 scones.
Place on tray and use a little leftover milk to cover each scone with a pastry brush.
