1
Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F. Lightly grease and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2
Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a skillet on medium heat. Saute onion 3-4 mins, until beginning to turn golden. Remove from heat.
3
Sift flour into a bowl. Rub in remaining 2 tbsp butter, using fingertips, until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese, basil and mustard. Whisk milk, egg and 2 tbsp water in a medium bowl. Add to dry ingredients and mix quickly to form a soft dough.
4
Turn out onto a lightly floured board. Gently press out into a 1-inch thick round. Place on prepared pan and score 8 even wedges with a floured knife. Spread onion over top and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Season to taste.
5
Bake 15-20 mins, until scones are well risen and golden on the bottom. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
