Cheese Scones
Ingredients
8oz self raising flour
1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt
1.5oz butter
1 egg
milk
2oz strong cheddar cheese finely grated
1 tsp Coleman's mustard powder
Method
mix flour, mustard powder, salt & butter spread until resembles breabcrumbs. Add in cheese and mix briefly
add egg & mix well.
add enough milk to get a dry dough (if you over do it, just add more flour until back to what's needed).
flatten into rectangle that is around 3cm thick. cut into 8 squares(ish). This mixture should not make more than 8 scones - if it does, they are too thin (which is where most people go wrong with scones). Coat with layer of egg/milk if you want a golden top...
cook on metal tray at 220C for 10-12 mins (if your oven only goes to 200C like mine, then 15 mins).
Try to allow them 5 mins resting time cooling...![Whistling :whistling: :whistling:](/styles/default/xenforo/smls/whistling.gif)
They don't generally last very long unless they get chance to make it to the freezer... they freeze well and defrost very quickly...
