Recipe

250g Plain flour
250g Whole-wheat flour
30g of Baking powder
1tsp of Salt
1/4 tsp of pepper
1 tsp of chili flakes
100g of frozen grated butter
200g of grated cheddar cheese
5 Scallions( spring onions )
2 eggs
200ml of Buttermilk

Eggwash - 1 egg yolk mixed with a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar

Baking powder already contains an acid unlike bicarbonate of soda. So you can use either regular milk or buttermilk

I find that buttermilk makes them soft and fluffier.

For a sourmilk buttermilk substitute add 1.5 tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice to some full milk or milk of your choice. Stir and let it stand for about 10 minutes before adding it to the dry ingredients

You could also thin out some natural or Greek yoghurt with some water and use that

If you want an even softer scone just add more liquid. This will affect the shape though. They will become flatter so it really is a matter of preference 😊

Bake at 200 C / 392 F for 18-20 minutes

Fan - 180 C / 356 F
