Time 30m

Yield 9 scones

Number Of Ingredients 8

225 g self rising flour
55 g butter
25 g fresh grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon mustard powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
120 ml milk, plus extra as needed

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 190°C.
  • In a large bowl, crumble the butter into the flour, working it in with your hand until it is no longer discernible from the flour.
  • Add the cheese, salt, baking soda, mustard powder and basil, mixing well.
  • Add the milk, beginning with 120 ml, and then adding a little at a time until you achieve a soft dough that sticks together in a ball in your bowl.
  • This is normally a bit more than 180 ml in total, but will depend on your flour and the humidity on the day.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface in a square to a thickness of 1 1/2 cm (1/2 inch).
  • Make three equal horizontal, then vertical cuts resulting in 9 scones.
  • Place each scone on a non-stick baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
