Food Processor Scones

1. Preheat oven to 200 C.
2. Place all dry ingredients in a food processor and process until well combined.
3. Add the cold solid coconut oil and pulse until the mixture looks like sand.
4. Add milk and yogurt and pulse just until mixture comes together in clumps.
5. Transfer dough to a lightly floured bench and roll it out to 1.5-2 cm thickness. Cut out as many rounds as possible with a 6cm round cutter. Re-roll any offcuts to use up the dough.
6. Bake for 10-13 minutes until well risen and golden.

Pumpkin & Carrot Soup

3. Remove the bay leaves and transfer it to the blender. Blend well until smooth and salt to taste. Add milk or water to reach your desired consistency if you wish.
