Chive and Cheese Scones

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups Self-raising flour
  • 1 tbsp Caster sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 60g Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Milk
  • 2 tbsp Finely Chopped Fresh Chives
  • 1 tsp Dried Mixed Herbs
  • 2/3 cup Grated Cheese
  • Extra Milk, For Brushing

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced and grease a baking tray.
  2. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and rub until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  3. Make a well in the centre and add milk, chives, dried herbs, and 3/4 of the cheese. Stir with a knife until dough almost comes together.
  4. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Press out to a 3cm-thick round.
  5. Dip a 6cm round cutter into flour and cut out scones. Press leftover dough pieces together and repeat to make 12 scones.
  6. Place scones, just touching, in the prepared pan. Brush with extra milk and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden and hollow when tapped on top.
  8. Serve warm with butter.
