Servings: persons

450 grams self-raising flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon caster sugar
115 grams butter, cubed
230 grams mature Cheddar cheese, grated
1 apple, peeled and diced
4 or 5 pickled cocktail onions, roughly chopped
Pinch each salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten

1
Preheat the oven to 190 C (375u00b0 F). Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.
2
Sift the flour, baking powder and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the butter and rub in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
3
Stir in most of the cheese (reserving a little to top the scones), the apple, pickled onions, salt and pepper, then add the egg and enough milk to make a soft dough.
4
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 4cm (1 1/2 inch) thick. Stamp out using a 7cm (2 3/4-inch) round cutter. Knead the trimmings together lightly, re-roll and stamp out more rounds. Place on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with a little grated cheese.
5
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

COOK'S TIP: If you like, you can add some chopped ham to the mix along with the apple.
