Method

Serve the scones with sliced apples and a pat of butter.

Glaze the tops with the egg mixture and bake for 10 minutes.

Cut scones using a 6cm cutter and place them 2.5cm apart on the tray.

Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface and roll to 2.5cm thickness.

Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, and mustard into a large mixing bowl.

Preheat the oven to 220°C and lightly flour a baking tray.

Gradually add milk until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.

Stir in the grated cheese, chopped cheese, and snipped chives.

Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
