Option 1: Cheese Scones

Ingredients:

225g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting

pinch of salt

1 tsp baking powder

55g chilled butter, cut into cubes

120g mature cheddar, grated

90-100ml milk, plus 1 tbsp for glazing

Method:

STEP 1

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a large baking tray inside. Sift the flour, salt baking powder into a bowl, then sift again to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

STEP 2

Add the butter to the bowl and combine with your fingertips to make breadcrumbs. Sprinkle 100g of the cheese into the breadcrumb mixture and rub together until evenly distributed. Try not to mix too much as the heat from your hands may start to melt the butter.

STEP 3

Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in enough milk to give a fairly soft but firm dough. Do not pour in all the milk at once as you may not need it all to get the right consistency.

STEP 4

Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to approximately 2cm thick. Cut out the scones with a medium (about 8cm) cutter, then put on a sheet of baking parchment, glaze with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Slide onto the hot oven tray.

STEP 5

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Scones can be added with all types of different healthy ingredients depending on your child’s tastes.
