Scones with style

So because I never do things exactly by the book..(its no fun) I decided to do a twist on the savoury Cheddar Scone. First let me tell you, Cheddar although boring to some and unoriginal goes really well with olives, green ones especially. For a lot of my baking I use BBC good food as it never seems to let me down.

Here is the list of what you will need to get baking!

• 200g Self-raising flour
• 50g Butter (softened)
• 25g Porridge Oats
• 75g Cheddar Cheese 
• 150ml Milk
• 20 Olives halved

 To start set the oven temperature to 200 fan and grease a baking tray, I used a non-stick one but greasing it helps :)

Rub the flour and the butter together using your finger tips, then stir in the oats, cheese and olives. Slowly stir in the milk and it will come together to make a dough.

Then lightly dust your work surface and roll the dough out to roughly 2cm, any thinner and they wont rise.

 Then start to cut out your scones using a 4cm or bigger if you prefer cutter. Use all the dough and scrunch the remainder into a small ball.

 Place on your baking tray using a basting brush, glaze over the top with a bit of milk or egg. Pop them into to oven for 10-12 minutes until they are a golden brown.

You are now ready to enjoy your scones, if you are feeling adventurous...try adding some cream cheese, avocado or ham. Otherwise they are perfect straight from the oven! x
