  4. Add the grated cheddar & chives to the flour mix, then gradually add the milk until you have a soft but not wet dough, all the milk may not be required.

  5. On a floured surface roll out to 2.5cm thickness. Cut out scones with a 50mm ring. Re roll left over pieces. Remember to handle and rework your dough as little as possible. This gives the best rise and texture.
