Although scones (pogácsa) are traditionally a savoury food, adding honey when serving creates an exciting contrast that highlights the umami flavour of the cheese and the buttery nature of the dough. This pairing is made for fans of sweet and savoury flavours, turning a simple party snack into a real gourmet experience.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Fold in the grated cheese so the flour coats the cheese strands.

Tip: If you flour the cheese, it won't clump together in a big lump in the dough.
2 ✓

Rub the cold butter into the flour mixture with your fingers until you get a damp sandy texture.

Tip: The butter pieces create steam during baking, which loosens and layers the dough.
3 ✓

Add the sour cream and knead the dough. You should get a pliable but not sticky dough.

Tip: The acidity of the sour cream helps the baking powder activate and softens the gluten.
4 ✓

Roll out to 1.5 cm thickness on a floured surface. Cut out scones with firm movements.

Tip: Don't twist the cutter in the dough, as it seals the sides and prevents them from rising nicely.
5 ✓

Place on a baking tray, brush tops with egg yolk. Bake at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: The egg yolk gives the shiny brown crust thanks to its proteins (Maillard reaction).
6 ✓

While still warm, drizzle with a little honey, or serve honey as a dip on the side.

Tip: The warm scone melts the honey slightly, coating it better.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the scones topple over during baking?
The cutter edge likely wasn't sharp enough and 'pushed down' the dough edge, or you cut at an angle. Press the cutter down with a firm, straight movement.
