Ingredients
- 2½ cups self-raising flour
- ½ cup thickened cream
- ½ cup milk
- pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp spring onion, chopped
- ¼ cup Colby cheese, grated
- 100 g leg ham, cut into ½ cm cubes
- 1 beaten egg, for brushing
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 200ºC and line a tray with baking paper.
3. Place flour, milk, cream and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with blade. Pulse to combine, then process 5-6 seconds until a soft dough forms.
4. Scrape onto a floured bench. If too sticky, dust with a little extra flour. Add chopped spring onion, colby cheese and ham and gently knead to combine. Don’t overwork. Spread onto a sheet of baking paper to 3 cm thick. Divide into 6 pieces using a pastry cutter and place them close together. Brush the top with beaten egg and bake for 18-20 minutes or until pale golden, puffed up and delicious.
5. Serve warm, with extra ham and cheese, if you like.
