Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Start by sifting the self-raising flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. This step ensures your scones are light and fluffy.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate jug, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined. This mixture will be the base for your batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and gradually add the milk and egg mixture, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
- Add Cheese and Chives: Gently fold in the grated Cheddar cheese, Parmesan, and chopped chives. These ingredients will give your scones their distinctive flavor.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Melt the butter and oil together, then lightly brush the pan with this mixture to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Scones: Drop 1 tablespoon of batter per scone onto the pan, spacing them out to avoid overcrowding. Cook until bubbles form around the edges and the underside is golden brown, about 2½ minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 to 2½ minutes.
- Keep Warm: To keep the cooked scones warm, wrap them in a clean tea towel while you continue cooking the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter and oil as needed.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the scones warm with a dollop of butter and an extra sprinkle of grated cheese if desired.
