These pull-aparts are simply a scone dough rolled up with a savoury filling. So, as with any scones, the trick is not to handle the dough any more than is necessary (see video below). Use any filling you fancy, such as chopped herbs, ‘nduja, cheese, anchovies or tapenade, and serve alongside your favourite soup or as a snack with a glass of St Ronan’s pear cider. Once you’ve seen how easy these savoury chive pull-aparts are, try the sweet version, hazelnut & butterscotch pull-aparts.

Makes 12 pieces

Ingredients
  • 150g cold salted butter, plus extra for brushing
  • 3 cups self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1¼ cups milk
  • 1 bunch chives, chopped
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
  2. Using the tips of your fingers, rub half the butter into the flour, leaving the remaining butter at room temperature to soften.
  3. Stir most of the milk into the flour mixture, adding a little more at a time as needed to form a soft dough, you may not need it all.
  4. Tip onto a lightly floured bench and pat into a rectangular shape.
  5. Gently roll and pat into a neat 25cm x 30cm rectangle.
  6. Combine remaining butter and chives and spread over the dough out to the edges.
  7. Roll firmly from a long side into a Swiss roll.
  8. Cut into 12 rounds and arrange, cut side up, in a single layer in a 23cm greased cake tin.
  9. Brush with a little extra melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden, then remove from oven and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
  10. Turn out of tin and place, right side-up, onto a wire rack.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature as an accompaniment to soup.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
