30g butter
¼ cup (30g) finely grated parmesan cheese
¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk, approximately
180g goats cheese
bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley

METHOD

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Oil oven tray.

Sift flour into large bowl; rub in butter, then stir in parmesan. Using a knife, mix in enough buttermilk to make a soft dough.

Turn dough onto floured surface, knead lightly until smooth. Press dough out to 1.5cm thickness, cut out 30 x 3cm rounds.

Place scones, barely touching each other, on tray. Bake about 20 minutes. Turn scones onto wire rack, cover, cool.

Meanwhile, make tapenade.

Split scones in half, top each half with tapenade and goats cheese; top each with a parsley leaf.
