Nutty cheesy Scones

Filled with crunchy walnuts and cheese to give that slightly salted taste, these scones are baked to perfection with the inside being soft and fluffy.

Recipe: (makes 9 scones)
150g plain flour
2 tsps baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
40g butter
25g brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
100 or lesser milk (depends on your mixture)
Chopped walnuts
Grated cheese

Steps:
1. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
2. Add butter and cut into small pieces in the flour. Use fingertips to rub in the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3. Add in sugar, walnuts and cheese and mix well.
4. Add in vanilla essence and milk just enough to knead into a smooth and soft dough.
5. Roll out dough with rolling pin and cut out scones using a cookie cutter.
6. Place on lined baking tin and brush scones with milk.
7. Bake in preheated oven at 220 Degree Celsius for 15 minutes until well risen and golden brown.

Note:
Butter must be chilled to ease rubbing and avoid melting too easily in the rubbing process.


Please provide some other special scone flavours! :D
