Ingredients

Makes 6

Bunch of large spring onions, finely sliced

250g self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

Salt & pepper

50g Mellow Yellow cold pressed rapeseed oil (+ 1 tbsp for frying)

1 St. Ewe Original Large Free Range Egg

90ml milk (+ 2tbsp to brush the top)

100g mature cheddar cheese, grated


Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/180c fan/6 gas mark.

Heat the Mellow Yellow oil in a pan and fry the spring onions for 5 minutes, until soft. Remove from the hob and allow to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle in the oil and use your fingertips to rub the ingredients together.

Crack the St Ewes egg into a jug and add 90ml of milk – whisking to combine.

To the flour mixture, add 90g of grated cheddar and the spring onions. Slowly pour in the  milk/egg, stirring until the dough comes together (you don’t want it to be too wet). Use your hands to bring the mixture together into a dough.

Lightly flour a surface and roll or pat out the dough to around 2-3cm thick. Cut out the scones with a circular cutter, then put on a baking sheet lined with parchment, glaze with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
