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 â 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.
