Ingredients
Cheese and Chive scones
150 g strong bread flour
100g wholemeal flour
3 tsp of baking powder
40g butter
100g cheddar cheese
Small handful of chives chopped small
1 egg
125 ml milk
Half a teaspoon of salt
Method
Sieve the flours and baking powder together with the salt.
Chop the butter into small pieces and rub into the flour with your finger tips
Stir in 85g of the grated cheese and the chives or any other any herbs that you are using.
In a small jug beat up the egg and add 125 ml milk.
With a knife fold most of the milk and egg mixture into the dry mixture. if it seems wet enough you can use the remaining milk and egg to brush the top of the scones.
Kneed the dough briefly by folding it over a few times, but do not overwork it. Shape the dough into a round about 25 cm in diameter and cut into six or eight pieces.
Brush the top of each scone with milk and top with some grated cheese.
Cook in a hot over (around 220deg) for about 15 minutes and then ideally eat while still slightly warm.
3 tsp of baking powder
