450g self-raising flour

pinch of salt

1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper

2 tsp baking powder

110g chilled butter, cubed

240g grated cheddar cheese

200ml milk, plus 2 tbsp for glazing

Heat the over to 200C / gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Sift the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder into a bowl and mix together.

Add the butter and rub with your fingertips to make breadcrumbs. Add 200g of cheese and mix well.

Make a well in the centre and add enough milk to give a soft but firm dough.

Flour a work surface and roll out the dough to around 2cm thick. Cut out scones with a 8cm cutter and put on the baking tray.

Glaze with a little of the leftover milk and sprinkle on some extra cheese.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooken through.
