Food Technology: Savoury Scones

Wednesday 25 June 2025

Today, Year 4 had food technology and made savoury scones! Lots of us had tried scones with jam and cream before but most of us had never eaten a savoury scone before, let alone made them.

They were full of healthy vegetables like courgettes, carrot and sweetcorn. This was to make them filling and a part of our balanced diets.

We worked in two groups to make a batch of scones so we all had to share the jobs. The two main skills we learned and practised were grating and kneading.

We had to be safe when grating the vegetables as it can be tricky to keep the slippery grater up-right! We made sure our fingers weren’t too close.

Kneading our dough was difficult to start with as the dough was quite sticky. We had to use lots of flour on the surface and on our hands to stop it from sticking.

Here are some photos!

The scones came out fantastically and the children loved them! They’re a yummy and healthy snack.

Help at home: use the recipe below to remake the savoury scones but try adding different vegetables.
