Cheddar And Chive Scones

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200u00b0C (400u00b0F) and line a baking tray. Grate your cheese and chop your chives up finely. Place 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and butter in a large bowl. Rub together until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Alternatively, use the beaters on your electric hand mixer, these are much faster at the job!

2. 2

   In a separate bowl place the cheese, chives and the remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Give it a brief mix together, just until it looks even. Place the eggs in a jug and beat them lightly, then add in the double cream and mix.

3. 3

   Add the cream mixture to the flour mixture and, using dough hooks on your electric mixer, mix until a dough forms. Add in the cheese and chives. Mix until well incorporated. Flour your worktop and then turn the dough out. Roll it out until it's about 1/2 inch thick.

4. 4

   Cut out your scones with a 6/7cm round cookie cutter and place them on your baking tray. Glaze with milk. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before serving. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
