Equipment

  • Baking Tray
  • Baking Paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Pastry Cutter
  • Pastry brush
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Measuring Scales

Ingredients
  

  • Self-raising Flour 250 g
  • Baking Powder 1 Tsp
  • Mustard Powder 1 Tsp
  • Cold Butter 50 g
  • Mature Cheddar Cheese 125 g
  • Large Egg 1
  • Milk 100 ML

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 220C or 200C fan. Line your baking tray with non-stick paper. This prevents the scones from burning on the bottom.
  • Mix the flour and baking powder together. Add the cold butter into the bowl. Rub the butter into the flour with fingers. It should look like fine breadcrumbs now.
  • Stir in most of the grated cheese. Add the mustard powder for a savory kick. Keep a little cheese aside for the tops. Mix everything together with a rounded knife.
  • Beat the egg in a small measuring jug. Add enough milk to reach the 150ml mark. Pour most of this into the dry mix. Save a tiny bit for glazing the tops.
  • Mix the dough quickly until it is soft. Do not overwork the dough at all. Put the dough on a floured surface. Pat it down to two centimeters thick.
  • Use a floured cutter to stamp out circles. Do not twist the cutter while pressing. Place the rounds onto your prepared baking tray. Brush the tops with the leftover milk mix.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on each scone. Bake them for ten to twelve minutes. They should be golden brown and well risen. Remove them and let them cool slightly.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter for the best flaky texture.
  • Do not over-mix the dough to keep it light.
  • Push the cutter straight down without any twisting motion.
  • Grate your own cheese for a much better melt.
  • Eat them warm from the oven for best taste.
