Name: Cheese Scones
Prep time: PT20minsM

Ingredients

3 cups Edmonds standard grade flour
3 tsp Edmonds baking powder
¾ cup grated cheese
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp mustard powder
¼ tsp salt
75g butter (or Olivani Spread)
1 ¼ cups milk
extra milk for glazing

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Grease or flour a baking tray.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add cheese, cayenne pepper and mustard powder to the mixture. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top.
Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness. With a floured knife, cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk.
Before baking, top each scone with a little more grated cheese. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.

Not sure about this recipe... followed instructions exactly, scones did not rise, bit of a disaster... oven was nice and hot etc, won't be wasting ingredients on this one again.

Love this recipe ! I am amazed how easy it is to make (used a food processor and still fine), it stays moist in the inside. I switched a bit of the spices and added some bacon to it. Delicious.
