- Place onto a floured board a knead briefly.
- Roll out to about 3cms/1" thickness.
- Stamp 12-14 rounds out of the dough - do NOT twist the scone cutters as it stops them from rising!
- Place close together on a greased biscuit/baking tray.
- Brush the beaten egg over each scone as a glaze and sprinkle the remaining 1 ounce of cheese over the top.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 10-12 minutes until well risen and golden brown.
