Time 34m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

225g self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting
¼ tsp salt
50g butter , very cold, diced
60g chorizo
110g manchego
pinch of smoked paprika
150ml buttermilk (or milk)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the flour, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until you can't feel any lumps of butter (or rub in any remaining lumps with your fingers).
  • Cut 60g chorizo and 60g manchego into small cubes and add them to the pulsed dry flour mixture with a pinch of smoked paprika.
  • Stir the buttermilk into the mixture and use a knife to quickly combine everything together to form a dough - stop when it has just combined and don't overmix it.
  • Tip the dough onto a floured surface and lightly bring it together with your hands a couple of times. Press out gently until about 4cm thick, then stamp out 6-7cm rough squares. Re-shape any trimmings until all the dough is used. Grate another 50g manchego over the scones before baking. Spread out on a lightly floured baking sheet and bake for 10-12 mins or until well risen and golden.
