Great as Snacks: Mayo-Cheese Scones - flour

Method

• Put the cake and bread flours, baking powder and sugar in a food processor and turn it on.
• (This is done instead of sifting the flours...)
• Rip apart 2 slices of cheese, add them to the food processor, and pulse a few times.
• Add the margarine and process until the mixture is crumbly.
• Add 1/2 of the milk and pulse, then add the rest of the milk and process until the dough comes together.
• Turn the food processor off when the blades are getting heavy.
• Take the dough out of the food processor and place on a sheet of plastic wrap.
• Flatten and fold the dough several times over the plastic.
• Wrap up in the plastic and rest in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces, and press out to the size of a slice of cheese.
• If you fold the plastic wrap into a rectangle, you can press the dough out into a neat rectangle too.
• Roll out each piece of dough while spreading out the plastic wrap little by little, making two equally sized pieces.
• Squeeze out some mayonnaise on one slice, to about the size of the cheese.
• I usually squeeze out 2 lines of mayo, but I'm on a diet at the moment so I just did one line.
• Put 2 slices of cheese on top side by side.
• If you use a total of 4 slices (2 slices each) it will be even cheesier and more delicious.
• (But I'm on a diet...)
• Add the other piece of dough on top very slowly.
• For any parts that are not overlapping, bring the plastic wrap over the top slice and neaten up the edges with a rolling pin.
• Divide into 4 pieces, and cut each piece in half diagonally.
• Transfer the dough very carefully to a parchment paper-lined baking tray.
• Squeeze on some more mayonnaise.
• I didn't have a thin-nozzle mayo bottle, so put some mayo in a plastic bag and cut off a corner to squeeze it on...but it didn't go too well.
• I should have cut the bag a bit more.
• Bake in a preheated 200C oven for 20 minutes.
• If you want to eat them toasted the next day, just bake for 18 minutes while they are still just lightly brown.
• Attention!
• It may look like there are lot of steps and it's hard work, but I just explained things in a lot of detail so that the recipe is easier to understand.
• It's really easy-peasy.
• They are delicious cold too.
