CHEESE Scones

A PERFECT accompaniment to a hearty soup!

ingredients

225g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
75g grated cheese, a strong cheddar works well but a blue such as Stilton or Red Leicester is nice too
50ml Mountain Produce Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil
125ml semi-skimmed milk

Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7.
Place the flour, baking powder and cheese in a bowl.
Mix in the oil and milk to form a slightly sticky dough.
Divide into 8 equal pieces and roll into balls, the balls should be similar size and shape to cook evenly.
Place the balls on a greased baking tray IN a flower shape, pressing down the top slightly to flatten them out.
Brush with milk.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden, let them cool slightly before enjoying warm with butter.
