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)

Method

  • Rub the butter into the flour until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Serve warm with caramelised onions and extra blue cheese if prefered.
