Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces self raising flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 ounces margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 -3 teaspoons sambal oelek or 2 -3 teaspoons thick chili sauce
5 ounces cheddar cheese, Mature, Grated
1 cup milk, to mix
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Rub in the margarine. Add the mustard and cheese.
  • Stir through well. Add the Sambal or chilli (not sweet) sauce to the milk and mix in well. Add enough of the milk to give a fairly soft dough.
  • Roll out to about 1 1/4 inches thick. Cut and brush slightly with milk and add a sprinkling of extra grated cheese on top--not too much.
  • Bake in a hot oven (210-220°C) for approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
