I have made these several times now and they are wonderful. Even though Mull of Kintyre is called for in preference, I prefer the Seriously Strong cheddar. Baking time is approx. watch until golden. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups self raising flour |
1 ounce salted butter |
1 large egg |
2 tablespoons whole milk |
4 ounces mull of kintyre cheese or 4 ounces scottish seriously strong cheddar cheese |
1/3 teaspoon salt |
1 1/4 teaspoons mustard powder |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Mix the flour, salt and pepper together. 2. Massage in the butter and then slowly mix in the grated cheese. 3. Beat the egg and add in the milk; add mixture to the dry ingredients to create a soft, elastic dough. 4. Roll out the mixture on a lightly floured surface. Cut into round shapes and place on a well greased tray. 5. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle a little extra cheese and pepper on top. 6. Bake in a pre-heated oven in the center at 400 until golden brown. |
