Method

Preheat oven to 200°C and in a bowl mix together the flour and salt.

Rub butter through the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and chives.

Make a well in the centre and add as much milk as needed (a little at a time) until dough has the right consistency.

Lightly flour a flat surface and gently knead the dough with your fingers. Flatten it to about 2 cm thickness and cut the scones with a medium cutter.

Glaze the tops with extra milk then sprinkle cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper on top.

Place scones onto a lined baking tray and bake for 10 - 15 minutes, until the scones are golden brown.
