Tasty Flavoured Tomato Butter - Liberally Spread on the Best Cheese Scones - Divine

Now Here’s A Thing.
Seriously, I thought there was nothing finer than a good cheese scone.
BUT I have discovered an embellishment.
Tomato and Parsley Butter
Now these are really the Best Cheese Scone

Friends were coming over for Afternoon Tea, well actually and Afternoon Wine
Of course I must make food
So I whipped up a batch of Cheese Scones,
Normally I would just supply some good butter to spread on them
This time I decided to flavour the butter

Take 150 gms of Unsalted Butter at room temperature
4 Cherry Tomatoes, very finely chopped
2 tablespoons of chopped Parsley
Sea Salt and freshly Ground Black Pepper

Mash the butter
Add the tomatoes and parley
Season to taste with S & P


Spread liberally on the freshly baked scone
Seemed to go well, with the Champagne and also Chardonnay
Covers all bases
Just in case, people cant be bothered looking up how to make the scones… I have added the recipe for the scones from a previous post
So Pre-heat oven to 220C

1 cup of plain high grade flour
2 1/2  teaspoons of baking powder
Pinch of salt
Good pinch of Cayenne Pepper
1 cup grated tasty cheese
2 spring onions finely chopped
1/2 cup milk
Sift the dry ingredient into a big bowl
Add cheese, stir

Add spring onions 
Add milk
Quickly mix and turn onto lightly floured bench
Pat into a circle
Cut into wedges
Place on a lined baking sheet (you could just flour it if you wish)
Bake for 8-10 minutes
Remove
Break open and put a nice pat of butter on top
Fantastic
