Scones (and soup)
I made cheese scones and tomato, orange and carrot soup for tea.
Cheese scones
8oz plain flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
pinch salt
black pepper
pinch dry english mustard
1 oz soft butter
2 oz strong cheddar cheese, grated
1 egg
milk
Sift the flour and other dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Add the butter and rub together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrcumbs. Add the cheese and mix. Whisk the egg and a couple of tablespoons of milk together and add to the ddry ingredients. Mix gently, and keep adding a little more milk until the mix comes together into a soft dough.
Turn out on to a floured board or granite worktop!
Knead very gently, and then roll out until 1.5 cm thick. Cut intl small rounds and place on a baking tray. Bake in a hot oven (200C) for 12 minutes.
Soup recipe to follow after I have eaten.
