Ingredients

  • 250g/9oz wholemeal flour
  • 250g/9oz plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 200g/7oz grated cheddar
  • 100g/4oz grated parmesan
  • 400ml/14fl oz milk
  • 1 free-range egg

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Place both flours, baking powder, salt, cheddar and half the parmesan into a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the milk and bring the ingredients together with your hands or a wooden spoon. The mixture will be sticky at this point.
  • Tip the mixture onto a lightly floured surface. Fold and knead to form a soft dough.
  • Flatten or lightly roll the dough to 2.5cm/1in thick. Dredge a 6cm/2½in cutter in flour to ensure a precise cut and cut out 15 scones. Place them onto the baking tray – you may need to do this in two batches. Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan.
  • Cook for 15-17 minutes until the scones are risen and golden-brown. Serve warm with butter.
