Ingredients

Scale

 

For the pancake batter:

  • 200 g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 250 ml milk
  • 1 egg
  • 110 g mature Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
  • 40 g Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 10–15 g chives, finely chopped

For cooking the scones:

  • 10 g butter + 1 tsp oil

To serve (optional):

  • Butter
  • Grated cheese

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Batter: Start by sifting the self-raising flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. This step ensures your scones are light and fluffy.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate jug, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined. This mixture will be the base for your batter.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and gradually add the milk and egg mixture, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
  4. Add Cheese and Chives: Gently fold in the grated Cheddar cheese, Parmesan, and chopped chives. These ingredients will give your scones their distinctive flavor.
  5. Heat the Pan: Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Melt the butter and oil together, then lightly brush the pan with this mixture to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the Scones: Drop 1 tablespoon of batter per scone onto the pan, spacing them out to avoid overcrowding. Cook until bubbles form around the edges and the underside is golden brown, about 2½ minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 to 2½ minutes.
  7. Keep Warm: To keep the cooked scones warm, wrap them in a clean tea towel while you continue cooking the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter and oil as needed.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the scones warm with a dollop of butter and an extra sprinkle of grated cheese if desired.

Equipment

Notes

 

  • Use Cold Ingredients: Cold butter and milk help to create a tender scone by preventing the butter from melting too quickly, resulting in flaky layers.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mixing the batter just until the ingredients are combined will keep the scones light and airy.
  • Chop Chives Finely: Finely chopped chives distribute more evenly throughout the batter, giving each bite a burst of fresh flavor.
