Cheese and Garlic Scones

(Makes 8)

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large cloves NZ garlic, crushed
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
• 50g chilled butter, chopped
• 1 cup grated tasty cheddar cheese
• 3/4 – 1 cup milk

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Stir in the garlic and parsley, until evenly dispersed.

Rub in the butter, then add the cheese. Add enough milk to make a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly.

Pat out into a 3cm thick round. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on the baking tray leaving a small gap between each wedge. Brush the tops with a little milk.

Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden and cooked.
