CHEESE SCONES

Ingredients......215gm of self raising flour, pinch of salt, pinch of sweet paprika, 1 tsp of baking powder, 55gm of butter/ marg at room temperature, 100gm of grated tasty cheese, 80ml of milk, extra grated cheese for the topping. Preheat your oven to 200deg C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place in the oven to heat. In a medium bowl mix together the flour, salt, paprika and baking powder. Add the butter/ marg to the dry mix with your fingertips until a fine breadcrumb consistency forms. Sprinkle the grated cheese onto the mixture and mix with a bread knife until the cheese is mixed through. Now make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in half of the mixture, continue to use the bread knife to stir to form a firm but soft dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured bench and use your hands to shape into 2cm thick dough, you can roll out the dough, but I never do. Cut the scones with a medium cutter and then place on the hot oven tray. Glaze the tops of the scones with the extra milk and sprinkle the cheese for topping over each scone. Bake in the preheated until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
