• portioner: 8

Ingredienser

* Self-raising flour: 3 cups (plus extra for dusting)

* Baking powder: 1 teaspoon (gives them an extra boost)

* Salt: ¼ teaspoon (reduced because parmesan is already salty)

* Butter: 90 grams (cold and cubed)

* Parmesan: ⅓ cup (finely grated, save a sprinkle for the top)

* Milk: 1 to 1 ¼ cups (plus a splash more to brush on top)

## Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the oven and tray: Heat your oven to 210°C (200°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl.

3. Rub in the butter: Add the cold butter cubes. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.

4. Toss in the cheese: Stir through the mozzarella and parmesan so the cheese is evenly coated in flour.

5. Add the milk: Make a well in the center. Pour in 1 cup of milk. Use a butter knife to mix everything together quickly using a cutting motion. If it is too dry, add the remaining ¼ cup of milk. Stop mixing as soon as a soft dough forms—overmixing makes scones tough!

6. Shape the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it down with your hands until it is about 2.5 cm thick. Do not use a rolling pin.

7. Cut the scones: Use a floured cutter or a sharp knife to cut out your scones. Push straight down without twisting. Place them close together on the baking tray so they touch slightly (this helps them rise higher).

8. Bake: Brush the tops lightly with a little extra milk. Sprinkle the saved parmesan on top. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until they are tall, cooked through, and golden brown.
