Scones are such a great go-to for any occasion. They are quick to make and require very few ingredients. You can add herbs, different cheeses, pesto etc to spice them up a bit. Just remember that the less you handle the dough the better.

Ingredients
3 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
½ tsp salt
2 cups grated tasty
1 Tbsp chives, finely chopped
1 ½ cup milk
Method
Preheat oven 200C
In a large bowl, sieve flour, baking powder, cayenne, salt together.
Add grated cheese and chives (if using). Stir together using a bread and butter knife.
Add 1 cup of the milk and cut through with the knife. Add more milk if needed so you get a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured bench.
Bring the dough together lightly so it forms a ball.
Roll the dough to form a square shape about 1.5 cm thick.
Cut into 9 or 12 squares.
Place apart on a baking tray.
Bake for 20 minutes or until well risen and golden.
Remove and cool slightly before eating.
