Makes 6
Ingredients:
60g butter, straight from the fridge, diced
270g flour, plus extra to dust
1¼ tbsp baking powder
1/8 tsp fine salt
2 tsp caster sugar
210g buttermilk, plus extra for glazing
80g mature cheddar, diced
30g mature cheddar, coarsely grated
Method:
1. Whizz the butter, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a food processor for 10-15 seconds.
2. Pour the buttermilk into a mixing bowl, add the flour mixture and gently mix with a metal spoon.
3. Mix the cheeses together and add to the dough. Be careful not to overwork as it will make the scones tough.
4. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough until it’s 2½ cm thick. Starting from the outside of the dough, cut out the scones. Press straight down, don’t twist the cutter.
5. Heat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan/gas 6½. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden on top.
