Cheese Scones (With Sesame Seeds) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour (I use half whole grain flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
30 g butter, cut into small pieces
180 ml milk
Glaze
30 g butter, melted
1/2 cup cheese, grated (e.g. cheddar or gouda cheese)
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 220\u00b0C/425\u00b0F.
In a big bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. Using your finger tips work in butter until dough resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and add milk. Using a knife stir quickly into a smooth dough.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 or 3 turns before rolling out (you can also just pat it down a bit).
Using a cookie cutter or glass to cut out scones (I use a 7.5 cm glass).
Place on a paper-lined baking sheet.
For glaze combine melted butter with cheese and sesame seeds and spread evenly over scones.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until nicely browned.
Enjoy warm or cooled.
