This was my first savoury scone recipe and I have loved it ever since my mum taught me how to make it. I make them a wee bit smaller, but you can use a bigger pastry cutter and just adjust the baking time.

Ingredients
-
30g butter
-
250g self-raising flour
-
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-
50g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-
125ml milk
-
125ml water
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Lightly grease a large baking tray.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and cheese. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add the butter, milk and water; stir gently to combine. Add water in small amounts until dough pulls together.
- Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and press out to 2cm thickness. Cut dough into rounds with a floured 3cm pastry or scone cutter. Place rounds on prepared tray and sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Handle scones gently until completely cool.
