These savoury cheese scones are excellent in between snacks or as accompaniments to a meal.
500 g self raising flour
8 g salt
2 tsp mustard powder
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
100 g butter
340 ml milk
8 g finely chopped parsley
200 g shredded cheddar cheese
Method
Preheat oven to 200ºC fan forced (220ºC normal bake). Place flour, salt, mustard powder and cayenne pepper in a bowl and blend. Rub butter into the flour mix with your hands. In another bowl combine milk, parsley and cheddar cheese. Add this mix to the flour and combine with a scraper or hands. Place on a workbench dusted with flour and roll or press out to a thickness of approx 25mm. Cut scones with a cutter 5 cm. in diameter. Place on lightly greased flat baking tray. Brush or spray the scones with milk and sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top. Bake in the oven approx 12 min.
Note: If you want a stronger mustard flavour add other kind of mustard into the liquid part such as Dijon or hot mustard.
