These delicious little scones are perfect finger food for your next party.

Ingredients

Butter, for greasing

1½ cups self-raising flour

1 tsp sea salt flakes

1 tbsp thyme leaves

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

80g butter, diced

¾ cup milk, plus extra for brushing

Extra 125g butter, at room temperature

Micro herbs, to decorate (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Grease a lamington tin with butter. Sift flour into a large bowl. Stir in salt, thyme and cheese. Rub in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

  2. Make a well in the centre and add milk. Using a round-ended knife or spatula, stir with a cutting motion until combined. Knead for no more than 1 minute. Using a rolling pin, roll out dough until 2cm thick.

  3. Using a 3.5cm round cutter, cut out rounds. Arrange in tin so rounds are just touching each other. Brush with extra milk. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until scones are golden and sound hollow when tapped.

  4. Cool on a wire rack then separate, cut in half and sandwich together with extra butter. Arrange on a platter and decorate with micro herbs, if desired.

    Tip: These scones can be made ahead of time, stored in a sealed Tupperware container and frozen for up to 2 months.
