SERIOUSLY STRONG SCOTTISH CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt and pepper together.
• Massage in the butter and then slowly mix in the grated cheese.
• Beat the egg and add in the milk; add mixture to the dry ingredients to create a soft, elastic dough.
• Roll out the mixture on a lightly floured surface. Cut into round shapes and place on a well greased tray.
• Brush the top with milk and sprinkle a little extra cheese and pepper on top.
• Bake in a pre-heated oven in the center at 400 until golden brown.

EASY CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 180°C.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne and cheddar, reserving just a little to sprinkle on the tops of the scones.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the milk and oil.
• Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture and combine together with a spoon and then your hands. If the mixture won't hold together, add a splash more milk until it does.
• Use your hands to flatten the dough until it's about half a centimetre thick. Fold in half and flatten again to the same thickness.
• Use a cutter of your choice to press out the scones and arrange them on a baking tray. They don't spread much so you don't have to worry about leaving a large gap between each one. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar over the tops of the scones and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
• Bake until golden.
