Cheese and Chive Scones

Easy to bake--tasty and so versatile. Yummy when still warm, great with a filling, or cold on a picnic. Delicious split and grilled--my family loves these.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Yields: 12 scones

Ingredients

• 12  ounces self raising flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2  ounces margarine
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons mustard powder
• 1  tablespoon parmesan cheese
• 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup fresh chives, Chopped
• 5  ounces cheddar cheese, Grated
• 1  cup milk, to mix
• 1  pinch salt

Directions

1. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Rub in the margarine. Add the mustard, cheeses and chives. Mix well and add the milk to give a fairly soft dough.
2. Roll out to about 1 1/4 inches thick. Cut and brush slightly with milk and add a sprinkling of extra grated cheese on top--not too much.
3. Bake in a hot oven (210-220°C) for approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
