Mustard Seed Scones
Mustard seed scones are a special twist on the traditional Hungarian pogácsa, where the spicy flavor of mustard seeds and the creamy smoothness of cheese create a perfect harmony. In Hungary, pogácsa is one of the most popular savory pastries, enjoyed as a welcoming treat or at family gatherings. This new version adds an exciting twist to the traditional recipe, perfectly paired with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. If you want an even more characteristic flavor, try enriching it with smoked cheese or freshly chopped green herbs!

Preparation Steps
1
In lukewarm milk, mix in the sugar, then crumble in the yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, sift in the flour, add the salt and mustard seeds, then rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, sour cream, and whole egg. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic and smooth.
4
Mix the grated cheese into the dough, then cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
5
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 2 cm thickness, then fold it over itself several times to create layers.
6
Roll out again to 2 cm thickness, then use a round cookie cutter to cut out the scones. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Brush the tops with beaten egg, then sprinkle with mustard seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
8
Let the scones cool on a wire rack, then serve fresh or store in an airtight container.
