If you haven’t jumped on the savoury scone bandwagon, now’s your chance. These mini cheese scones are a popular one with the kids too.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to very hot, 220°C. Lightly grease an oven tray.
Sift flour into a large bowl. Add butter and rub in using fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in cheese and season to taste.
Make a well in centre of dry ingredients. Add combined milk and water all at once. Using a bread and butter knife, mix to a soft, sticky dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently and press or roll out until about 2cm thick (see tips).
Using a 3cm floured cutter, cut into rounds. Arrange close together on tray. In a bowl, mix extra butter and extra cheese together. Dollop a little onto each scone.
Bake 12-15 minutes, until scones are golden and sound hollow when tapped. Serve stuffed with a slice of gherkin.
Cook’s tips
- Dust work surface with a little extra self-raising flour before kneading to prevent dough from sticking.
- Handle dough gently to achieve a tender end result.
