- Double Cheese Scones with Rocket Pesto
Ingredients
- 225g plain flour
- 125g grated cheddar
- 25g butter
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 125g Parmesan, coarsely grated (for the scones), plus 3 tbsp finely grated (for the pesto)
- 150ml milk
- 50g pine nuts
- 40g rocket
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 5 tbsp olive oil
Method
Step 1
For the scones: Preheat oven to 200˚C/Gas 6. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Dice the butter and rub in. Stir in the cheddar and coarsly grated Parmesan, keeping some back. Add the cayenne and milk, then stir to a soft dough.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface pat the dough to about 3cm thick, then stamp the scones with a 6cm cutter. Place the scones on a greased baking sheet, brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with the cheese you reserved earlier. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and risen. Cool on a wire rack.
Step 3
For the pesto: Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan then let cool. Add to a blender with the rocket and olive oil, pulse to chop. Add the 3 tbsp finely grated Parmesan and pulse to mix. Split the warm scones, spread with the pesto and serve.
