Steps
- 01
Preheat fan oven to 200°C and line a tray. Mix 225 g flour, 10 g baking powder and 2 g salt; rub in 25 g cold butter until breadcrumb-like.
- 02
Stir in 100 g cheddar and 40 g scallions. Add 70 ml milk mixed with 60 ml water gradually, mixing just until the dough comes together; do not overwork.
Use only 70 ml of the total 80 ml milk in the dough; reserve 10 ml for brushing. If the mix looks dry, first check that all the specified 60 ml water has been incorporated. Never taste dough containing raw flour. - 03
Pat dough into a 3 cm-thick disc and cut into eight wedges. Space on the tray, brush with remaining 10 ml milk and distribute remaining 25 g cheddar on top.
- 04
Bake in a 200°C fan oven 12–16 minutes until golden and fully set inside, not wet dough. Cool on a rack 5 minutes, serve one per person.
Check a central scone from around twelve minutes: if the outside browns but the middle remains gummy or underbaked, bake in additional 2–3 minute increments. Wear oven mitts for the hot tray and do not grab scones immediately.
