Cheese & Spring Onion Scones instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 220C/200Fan/Gas 7, grease & line a flat baking tray In a large bowl, rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Season with a pinch of black pepper. (Not really any need for salt as there is plenty in the cheese.) Stir in the cheese & spring onions (if using). Mix in the milk a spoonful at a time with a flat knife to make the dough. Transfer the dough to a floured surface & knead for 1-2 minutes until firm & pliable..
At this stage you can either separate the dough into 8-12 pieces & mould into a scone shape or flatten the dough out to about 2cm thick & use a pastry cutter. Place the scones on to the prepared tray & brush either with milk or a mixture of egg yolk & milk then top with a little more grated cheese if you like..
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden & risen. Serve warm!.
