Recipe - Whole-Wheat Cheese-Crusted Scones

3 ounce Whole wheat flour
3 ounce Selfrising flour
1 ounce Butter; at room temperature
1 teaspoon Baking powder
3 tablespoon Milk; 1% lowfat
3 ounce Sharp cheddar cheese; finely
grated
1 lg Egg
One half teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Dry mustard
2 Pinches cayenne pepper
Milk

Preheat oven to 425øF

Sift the flours into a mixing bowl, add the bran remaining in the sieve,
the mustard powder, salt and one good pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix them
together well, then rub in the butter, using your fingertips, until the
mixture is all crumbly. Now mix in most of the grated cheese, leaving about
1 tablespoon.

Next, in a small bowl, beat the egg together with 2 tablespoons of milk.
Add this to the mixing bowl to make a soft dough. The dough should leave
the bowl clean, so add a drop more milk if too dry, and don't make too wet.

Roll the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 3/4" and use a
2" cutter to cut out the scones. Place the scones on the baking sheet,
brush the tops with milk, then sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over
the top of each scone, with a faint dusting of cayenne. Bake on a high
shelf for 1520 minutes, cool slightly on a wire tray, and serve warm.
