  • 1 large egg
  • 75 ml whole milk
Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, add self-raising flour and chilled butter cut into cubes.
  2. Rub the butter flat with the flour to create layers of fat within the dough.
  3. Add raw sugar, grated parmesan / cheddar cheese and freshly cut chives. Mix evenly.
  4. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add beaten egg with milk. Leave about 3 tablespoon for egg wash.
  5. Gently mix all ingredients together to form a soft dough.
  6. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
  7. Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll flat about 1 inch thick.
  8. Using a 2 inch round cutter, cut rolled dough to shape.
  9. Arrange on a lined baking tray. Brush the top with remaining egg & milk mixture.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 10 - 12 mins until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove the tray from the oven and transfer onto a cooling rack.
  12. Best served warm.
Recipe Notes

Scones can last about a week in the fridge but much longer when frozen.
Lightly reheat in the oven or air-fryer before serving.
