My little sister, Sarah has come to visit us this week on her home from a winter working in the US. I've decided one of the best combinations is coffee, cheese scones and a chat with a sister.
Super-quick cheese scones:
2 cups plain flour (or a combination of white and wholemeal)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup grated cheese (or substitute raisins/dates/other dried fruit)
25 grams butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
sunflower/poppy seeds
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in grated cheese. In a small saucepan, melt butter then whisk in milk and water. Slowly add the liquid mix to the flour, stir then turn out onto a floured surface and knead a little. Pat into a flat-ish rectangle, then cut into 8 or so shapes, top with extra cheese and sunflower seeds if you like. Place on a floured baking tray and bake at 200 degrees C for about 10-15 minutes.
