Cheese pinwheel scones

  • 250g all purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • pinch of salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper – I used freshly ground black pepper

  • 30g unsalted butter, chilled and diced

  • 185ml milk

Filling:
  • 40g goat’s cheese, crumbled

  • 40g grated parmesan cheese

  • 40g grated mature cheddar cheese – I used the yellow mozzarella we have here, made with cow’s milk

  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F. Grease or line a baking tray with non stick baking paper.

  • Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper into a large bowl. Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the milk and, using a flat-bladed knife, mix to form a soft dough. Add a little extra flour if the dough is too sticky.

  • Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll out to form a 20x25cm (8x10in) rectangle. Sprinkle the goat’s cheese over the surface, then sprinkle over the parmesan, cheddar and parsley. Starting from the long side, roll the dough into a cylinder. Cut the cylinder into 10 equal 2cm (¾ in) thick slices. Transfer the slices to a baking tray, spacing them 2cm (¾ in) apart.

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes (mine took 28 minutes in the oven) or until golden and cooked through. Cool on a wire rack.

  • Serve warm.
