Method
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F, gas mark 7). Sift the self-raising flour into a bowl with the baking powder, a large pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Rub the diced butter into flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the chopped parsley and 50g (2oz) Cheddar cheese.
- Add the milk and mix to make a fairly soft dough. Roll out on a floured surface to a 2cm (¾ in) thickness. Use a small round cutter and stamp out 12 small scones, re-rolling the dough once.
- Place on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake for 8-10 mins until golden brown and risen. Cool on a wire rack.
