Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Mix the flours and baking powder in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt, if you like. Add the butter and rub with your fingertips until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs (or use a food processor). Stir in ½ of the cheese and make a well in the centre.

  • step 2

    Whisk the remaining ingredients together and pour into the well. With a cutlery knife, bring the mixture together to make a soft, but not sticky dough. Add a little more milk if the dough is too dry.

  • step 3

    Turn onto a floured surface, then roll out to about 2cm thick. Stamp out 4 scones using a round cutter, then gather the trimmings and repeat until all the dough has been used. Put on a baking sheet, brush with milk and scatter over remaining cheese. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Lovely easy recipe. I have adapted with time and added spring onions and chilli flakes. They were tasty and got very good reviews

Made exactly as recipe. Took a few more minutes to cook. Although not really my sort of scone all my guests thought they were really good / tasty.

question

Would it work OK if I were to use all wholewheat flour please?

PS - you might need to add a splash more liquid as wholewheat flour generally absorbs more liquid than white flour.

I just used self-raising flour as didn’t have any whole meal. If you’re doing this I’d reduce the liquids as mine came out as a very wet dough. Had to add more flour. None the less a lovely result

As other people have mentioned add double the marmite. I did and they came out lovely!
