Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Söke Flour, Baking Powder, Salt, and Dried Mint (if using).
3. Add the cold, cubed Ulker Bizim Margarine to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to rub the margarine into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4. Stir in the shredded Teksüt Mozzarella Cheese.
5. Gradually add the Icim Whole Milk, mixing with a fork until a soft, shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together a few times, just until it forms a cohesive ball. Do not knead excessively.
7. Pat the dough into a round disc, about 1-inch thick. Using a round cutter (or a knife), cut out 6-8 scones.
8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
10. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.

Pro Tips

• For extra flavor, you can brush the tops of the scones with a little milk before baking.
• Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing can lead to tough scones. A light touch is key for a tender crumb.
• If you don't have a round cutter, you can simply cut the dough into squares or triangles with a knife.
• For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a sprinkle of sumac if you have it on hand.
• If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the chopped onion in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain well before adding to the salad.
• Don't dress the salad too far in advance, as the vegetables can become soggy. Toss just before serving for maximum freshness and crunch.
