Serves: 12 | Preparation Time: 15-20 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes


Ingredients

3 cups Snowflake Cake Wheat Flour

4 tsp Snowflake Baking Powder

1 cup grated cheese

60g butter, chopped

1 tsp salt

2 Tbsp chopped chives

1 cup milk

Extra milk, for brushing

Butter to serve

Method

  • Preheat oven to 145°C. Grease and flour a baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine Snowflake Cake Wheat Flour, Snowflake Baking Powder, and salt. Rub in butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Make a well in the centre. Add milk, chives, dried and 3/4 of the cheese. Using a flat-bladed knife, stir until dough almost comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead gently until dough comes together. Press out to a 3 cm-thick round. Dip a 6 cm round cutter into flour. Cut out scones. Gently press leftover dough pieces together and repeat to make a total 12 scones.
  • Place scones, just touching, in prepared pan. Brush with extra milk. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden and hollow when tapped on top.
  • Serve with butter.
