Ingredients
Method
- 225g / 8oz self raising flour
- 55g / 2oz Cold butter
- 100g / 3½oz Mature cheddar cheese
- 90g / mls / 3.2oz Milk (full fat/cream)
- 4g / 1 tsp baking powder
- 2g / ½tsp Mustard powder
- 1g / ¼tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1g / ¼tsp Turmeric
- 2g / ¼tsp Salt
- Extra cheese for topping
- Milk for glazing
- Before starting the recipe preheat your oven to 200°C / 392°F or gas mark 6.
- Sift in all of the dry ingredients to a bowl.
- I’m using self raising flour in the video, if you’re using plain or all purpose flour add an extra 2 tsp of baking powder to the recipe.
- Add the cold butter and rub together until it resembles fine bread crumbs.
- Fold in cheese with your fingers until it is evenly incorporated.
- Add the milk and cut it in using a dinner knife.
- Gently fold the mixture together into a dough by hand, taking care not to over handle the dough.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 25mm / 1 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into approximately 6 scones with a scone cutter or knife.
- Place the scones on a greased baking tray, brush the tops with milk and add a little finely grated cheese to each one.
- Place the tray into the preheated oven and set your timer for 14 minutes, times may vary between 13 and 17 minutes due to varying temperatures of different ovens.
- When the time is up, remove from the oven when golden brown and allow to completely cool on a wire rack.
- Serve with plenty of butter.
- Enjoy
