Ingredients

250 g Self-raising flour
3 g Baking powder
1 g Salt
3 g English mustard, powder or ready-made
60 g Butter, cold, cubed
100 g Cheddar, grated
3 Spring onions, finely sliced
130 ml Milk
1 Eggs, beaten, to glaze
40 g Butter, to serve

Method

Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and mustard, then rub in the butter. Stir in most of the cheese and the spring onions, then the milk, to make a soft dough.
Pat out to 2.5cm thick on a floured surface and stamp out 5cm rounds. Put on a lined tray, brush with egg and top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until risen and golden. Serve warm, split and buttered.
