Bread
and Scones
Savoury Cheese Scones
100g (4oz) Hamlyns Scottish Oatmeal
100g (4oz) plain flour
50g (2oz) mature cheese, grated
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
Pinch of salt and paprika
40g (1½ oz) butter or margarine
1 egg beaten
Approx 150ml (1/4 pint) milk
Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F, Gas 8)
Mix dry ingredients, rub in butter of margarine, then mix in grated cheese. Add milk and egg to make a softish dough (if you are making the scones in a food processor, you will need less milk. Knead lightly, divide dough into two rounds and mark in quarters. Bake for approximately 12 minutes. Serve warm.
The use of oats in these scones eliminates the doughy texture that some scones have, giving you an excellent, light tasty snack.
