Method

Make it happen

1. 01

   Heat oven to 200°C fan and line a large tray. Mix flour, baking powder and the seasoning in a bowl. Rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

2. 02

   Stir parmesan, chives, pepper and garlic into the dry mixture before adding milk.

3. 03

   Add the milk and mix just until a soft dough forms; do not overwork it.

4. 04

   Pat out to about 2.5 cm thick on a lightly floured surface. Stamp out 8 scones with a floured cutter, pressing straight down; gather scraps gently.

5. 05

   Brush the tops with a little milk. Bake for 14–17 minutes until risen, golden and cooked through. Cool briefly on a rack.
