St Andrew’s Farmhouse Cheese Company’s Cheese Scones
Ingredients
- 1 lb Self Raising Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- pinch of salt
- 12 oz Anster cheese
- 12 oz St Andrews Farmhouse Cheddar
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of Galloway Lodge wholegrain mustard
- milk to mix
Method
Mix all the dry ingredients together lightly, and stir in the grated cheese (reserve a little of the cheese to sprinkle on the top of the scones before baking)
Whisk together the egg, mustard, olive oil and a splash of milk.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix lightly. Add a little more milk as required to give a slightly sloppy consistency.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface, pat out the mixture to about half an inch thick and – using a scone cutter – stamp out the scones.
Place the scones on a lightly floured baking tray (you should have about 12 medium size or 8 large). Brush with extra beaten egg and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top of each scone (optional).
Bake in a hot oven until well risen, golden brown and cooked through (to test if cooked, turn a scone upside down and tap the base lightly with your finger – there should be a ‘hollow’ sound).
