2cups grated cheese(save a little to sprinkle on top)
1 egg
cold water(just less than 250 ml)
salt and pepper
Instructions
Pre heat your oven to 200 degrees.
Place the self raising flour into a medium sized bowl.
Add (nearly all) the cheese and salt.
Break an egg into a measuring cup and fill to the 250ml mark with cold water. Use a fork to gently whisk and the egg and water.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a dough whisk or knife to bring the dough together to form a ball. If it is looking a little sticky. Don’t worry.
Sprinkle flour over a clean surface and tip the dough onto it. Roll the ball around until it is soft to touch but is no longer sticky.Use your hands to gently apply pressure and pat out a square shape (about 3cm in height).
Use a sharp knife to cut into 9 large scones (3x3 grid) or 12 smaller scones (4x3). Place onto an oven tray quite close together - leaving a gap no more than 1cm.
