Blackberry bites Recipe
- 25g/1oz butter, plus extra for greasing
- 125g/4½oz self raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 25g/1oz caster sugar
- 16 fresh blackberries
- 80-100ml/3-3½fl oz buttermilk
- plain yoghurt, to serve
- Preheat the oven to 220C/450F/Gas 7. Grease a baking tray with butter.
- In a bowl, rub the butter and flour together using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar. Gently stir in the blackberries.
- Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring well until the mixture starts to come together as a dough without being sticky. You may not need to use all of the buttermilk.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly dusted work surface and roll into a ball. Roll out the dough ball to a thickness of 1.5cm/½in.
- Cut circles from the dough using a cookie cutter and arrange onto the baking tray, leaving a gap between each. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden-brown.
- Serve with a dollop of yoghurt on top.
