CHEESE SCONES

CHEESE SCONES
500 ml Cake Flour
Pinch Of Salt
15 ml Baking Powder
30 ml White Sugar
375 ml Grated Cheddar Cheese
1 Extra-Large Egg
80 ml Sunflower Oil
125 ml Milk

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and cheese. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg, oil and milk together and, using a round-bladed knife, stir this into the dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Press out the dough to 2cm thick on a lightly floured surface and cut out the scones using a round, 6cm diameter cutter. Place the scones on a baking tray sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and bake in a preheated oven at 220 Deg. Cel. for about 15 minutes. Remove and cool on a cooling rack.
Makes 8 – 10.
Serve buttered and topped with grated cheese
