Dad’s going to love these Cheese & Spring Onion savoury scones this Father’s day ! Served warm with a knob of butter, they’re the perfect snack!
Preparation time : 25 minutes
Serves : 6-8
Ingredients :
- 225g plain flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- 25g butter, roughly chopped into cubes
- 100g grated cheddar cheese
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 70ml milk + a dash more
- 60ml water
- 25g cheddar cheese grated, for top
Method :
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C fan forced, and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Mix the flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- Rub the butter cubes into the flour mixture lightly with your gingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the grated cheese and spring onions, then gently mix.
- Combine the milk, water, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce (if desired), then pour into the flour mixture. Gently mix until the dough starts to come together.
- Tip the dough out onto a floured surface, then shape into a ball. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin until it is 3cm thick.
- To form the scones, either use a 6cm round cutter, or you can simply cut the dough into triangles.
- Carefully place the scones onto the lined baking tray, leaving space between each. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of each scone with milk, then sprinkle with the additional 25g of grated cheese.
- Bake the scones in the oven for 12 mins, until golden. Once done, allow them to cool on a wire rack.
- Once done, remove pan from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 30 mins to an hour before slicing. This gives the bars time to set.
