Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour (all purpose flour)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- ⅛ teaspoon curry powder
- 20 grams butter
- 1 cup grated cheese (tasty or cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
- extra milk to brush top of scones
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees celsius fan-forced.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and curry powder.
- Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ¾ of the cheese, ¾ of the chives and all of the parmesan.
- Whisk together the milk and egg and then stir through the mixture with a blunt knife. Stir gently until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Pat together mixture with your hands and flatten until about 3cm thick.
- Use a floured scone cutter to press out rounds.
- Place the scones onto the baking tray, almost touching. Brush tops of scones with a little extra milk and sprinkle with remaining cheese and chives.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until a pale golden colour on top.
- Allow to cool for a minute or two in the dish before turning out into a clean tea towel placed on a cooling rack. Wrap in the tea towel and serve warm with butter.
