Cheesy does it…..

I overheard someone talking about cheese scones and I thought - Oh yum I want a cheese scone! But I didn’t really want to make a whole batch as the fuss pots around here may not have eaten them. So I found a mini recipe - a small batch! Slight adapted from @sarahcooks

Ready in no time.

Small-Batch Cheese Scones - makes 4

Adapted from @SarahCooks 

Ingredients

1/2 cup self raising flour

Pinch of salt

1/4 teaspoon mustard powder

20 grams cold butter

30 grams grated cheese, plus extra for topping 

1/4 cup buttermilk (milk with a squeeze of lemon)

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan

Preheat the oven to 200C.

Place the self-raising flour, salt, and mustard powder in a bowl. Rub in the butter with fingers until it’s like breadcrumbs.

Pour half the buttermilk in and stir through with a butter knife until it starts to come together. Pour in enough of the remaining buttermilk to enable the dough come together. (You may not need all the buttermilk).

Tip onto a lightly floured surface and form into a rough rectangle of approx. 4 centimetre thickness.

Cut into four squares using a sharp knife.

Press straight up and down and don’t use a back-and-forth sawing motion.

(This is to help the scones rise as best they can).

Place the squares onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, with a couple of centimetres space in between. Sprinkle over the extra grated cheese and parmesan.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. I cooked min for 10 minutes in the air fryer.

Allow to cool for 5 or so minutes before eating with butter. Great with soup!
