Equipment
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 mixing bowl
- measuring spoons
- 1 scone cutter
- 1 baking tray
- digital scales
- 1 box grater
Ingredients
- 450 g plain flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 120 g salted butter
- 260 g sharp cheddar (plus a little extra for topping the scones)
- 200 ml whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 6 spring onions
Instructions
- Begin by stirring the flour and baking powder to fully incorporate
- Grate your cheese using a box grater and set aside
- Slice your spring onions and set aside
- Work the butter into the flour with your fingers until it resembles fine breadcrumbs - try to ensure there are no lumps of butter
- Once the butter is worked in, add the cheddar cheese and spring onions and stir to combine through the flour
- Add the milk and the egg, reserving a touch of the milk in case the mixture gets too dry
- Gently work the dough with your hands until it becomes more cohesive, then tip out onto a well floured work surface
- Gently work with your hands until the dough comes together, be careful not to overwork or the scones will become tough
- roll out the dough to about an inch thick
- cut out scones using a scone cutter by pressing down firmly. Don't twist the cutter as this can prevent the scones rising properly
- Place scones on a baking tray and brush the tops with eggwash and top with some grated cheese
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200℃ for between 15 and 20 minutes until golden
- Allow to cool on a cooling rack then enjoy!
