Gluten Free Cheese Scones

Gluten Free Cheese Scones

Makes about 10 scones

1 lb Juvela White Flour Mix

1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

1/2 teaspoon Mustard Powder

2 teaspoons GF Baking Powder

2ozs Stork Margarine or Block butter

6 ozs Good Quality strong Cheddar Cheese grated

2 eggs with enough milk to make 300ml (leaving a little in the bottom of the jug to brush the top of the scones).

2ozs grated Cheddar Cheese for topping

Method

Set the oven to gas mark 7 with a middle shelf.

Mix all the dry ingredients including the cheese.

Mix in the margarine/butter until it is mixed through but not fine breadcrumbs.

Add the liquid but not all of it, then turn out onto a well floured worktop and knead for a couple of minutes, adding flour if you find it sticky.

Press out until it is the height of your cutter - about 1 1/4 inch high.  Place onto a baking tray and brush the egg/milk mixture.  Place more grated cheese on the tops.

Bake for about 15 minutes until they are golden brown and leave the tray along with a little brown on the underneath.

If you find they are not brown underneath but are ready on the top, place a piece a tin foil on top while they carry on cooking.

Once cooled enjoy with lashings of butter or a bowl of soup.

These scones freeze well.
