Two cheese and thyme scones

Savoury scones remind me of New Zealand cafes, ordering one fresh from the oven, and lathering it in butter. Surprisingly scones are very quick and easy to make, and you can use a variety of ingredients you have lying around in the kitchen. Experiment with different flavours, my two cheese and thyme scone was born on a lazy Sunday morning, with little options for a mid morning snack. Enjoy! 

Makes approximately 12

Two cheese thyme scones

2 cups of flour
pinch of salt
60g butter
50g feta chopped into small cubes
2 tablespoons of fresh thyme
30g cheddar cheese, grated
150ml of milk

1. Preheat oven 220C (200C in a fan)

2. Mix the flour and salt, and rub in the butter

3. Stir in the two cheeses and thyme and milk, then mix into a soft dough.

4. Place onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Pat out the dough until 2cm thick, and use a 5cm cutter to stamp out your scones. Lightly knead the rest of it together, and repeat the above process until all the dough is used up.

5. Brush the top of the scones with milk. Bake for 12-15min until golden. Cool on wire rack. 

If you can't wait like me, grab one straight out of the oven and spread with butter!
