Cheese and Pineapple Scones image

These are great with butter and/or jam. I like them straight out of the oven but they are good cold as well.

Time 25m

Yield 14-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

225 g wholemeal self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
40 g reduced fat margarine
1 teaspoon dry mustard
75 g mature reduced-fat cheddar cheese, finely grated
50 g dried pineapple, finely chopped
150 ml skim milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 220 deg Celsius. Line a baking tray with non-stick paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the margarine until the mix resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Fold in the dry mustard, cheese and pineapple. Add enough milk to make a fairly soft dough.
  • Lightly flour your surface. Turn out your dough and knead lightly. Gently roll out to 2cm (3/4") thickness. Be careful not to overwork. Using a 5cm cutter or glass, stamp out rounds (using even pressure). Move them to the prepared tray.
  • Brush tops with milk and bake for about 10 minutes, or until well risen and golden. Cool on wire rack before serving either warm or cold.
