Cheese and Chive Scones

Cheese and Chive SconesIngredients
250g (2 cups) self-raising flour
Pinch salt
60g (¼ cup) butter
40g (½ cup) grated cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives(green onion )
120ml (½ cup) milk
60ml (¼ cup) water
30ml (2 tablespoons) lemon juice
Extra cheddar cheese, grated, for topping

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220° C). Brush an oven tray with melted butter or oil.
Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
Rub in butter, using your fingertips. Mix lemon juice with milk.
Make a well in the centre. Add cheese and chives and stir to combine, then add milk and almost all the water.
Mix gently with a flat bladed knife to a soft dough, adding more liquid if necessary. Do not over-mix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface (use self-raising flour). Knead it very briefly and lightly, folding it back over itself and pressing down (about 10 seconds). It should just lose its stickiness.
Press or roll out dough to a 2 cm thickness (handle lightly do not use too much pressure). Using a floured, round, 5 cm cutter, cut the dough into circles. Pile the scraps together and press or roll out. Cut more pieces, (do not re-knead).
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with extra cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes until cheese is golden in colour.
