Chef Cian Irvine walks us through how to make savoury sausage and cheddar scones

shredded cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

cooked sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Turkey sausage reduces fat content.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: corn syrup

Honey is a natural sweetener with similar flavor.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and chives.

In a separate bowl, mix milk, egg, and maple syrup.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently.

Pat dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Cut into wedges and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Cool slightly before serving.
