Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain flour (all purpose flour)
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon curry powder
  • 20 grams butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees celsius fan-forced.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and curry powder.
  3. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in ¾ of the cheese, ¾ of the chives and all of the parmesan.
  5. 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.
  6. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Pat together mixture with your hands and flatten until about 3cm thick.
  7. Use a floured scone cutter to press out rounds.
  8. 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.
  9. Bake for about 15 minutes or until a pale golden colour on top.
  10. 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.
