I went to the Royal Melbourne show and picked up this recipe from there. They look delcious and even though this family are not fan's of Blue Cheese ...... I am going to try them. Ingredients:
50 g butter, chilled and chopped |
2 cups self raising flour |
3/4 cup milk |
80 g blue cheese, finely crumbled |
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves |
milk, extra, for brushing |
caramelised onion, for serving (optional) |
blue cheese, for serving (optional) |
Directions:
1. Rub the butter into the flour until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2. Add the milk, blue cheese and thyme and stir with a round bladed knife & stir until mixture comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured bench and knead only until just smooth.
3. Pat out mixture until approx 2.5cm thick, measuring 16cm x 16cm and using a sharp knife, cut into 9 squares. Place scones on a paper lined tray, brush them with extra milk and bake at 220c for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, scones should sound hollow when tapped. Remove scones from oven and wrap in a clean towel for 5-10 minutes.
4. Serve warm with caramelised onions and extra blue cheese if prefered.
