Former Great British Bake Off contestant Briony May Williams has shared a simple hack for making savoury scones that require no eggs, butter, or milk. Instead, a single ingredient—hummus—creates a dough that she describes as 'insanely delicious'.
How It Works
In a TikTok video, Williams demonstrated that hummus, plain flour, and baking powder are all that is needed to form a quick dough. The hummus provides enough moisture to replace traditional wet ingredients, while also adding flavour. She added mixed herbs and smoked paprika for extra taste.
The dough comes together in seconds and can be cooked in an air fryer at 180°C for eight minutes or in a conventional oven at 200°C (fan) for ten minutes.

Williams' video has garnered over 39,700 views, 1,252 likes, and 105 comments. Viewers praised the recipe, with one user, MsMoneyPenny, writing: 'They look delish! Must make as I’m vegan and always looking for savoury biscuity sconey cakey things!!' Another commenter, TKBH, said: 'Saw the video 30 minutes ago - now eating them! Delicious.'
Jill commented: 'I have just made these after being inspired by this clip and all I can say is "wow" - they are amazing! So quick to make, but so tasty! So thank you Bryony for sharing this. I made mine with caramelised onion hummus and some chives. They were delicious.'
Alison suggested: 'Roasted red pepper hummus with chopped sun dried tomato and some gouda cheese. That would be insanely delicious! I think, anyway!'
