Scrumptious Savoury Scones

Ingredients:
3 cups SR flour
600ml thickened cream
1 cup grated cheese
1 tsp finely chopped chives

Method:
Mix flour, grated cheese and chopped chives together in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, pour in the cream and mix to a soft dough. Use your hands if necessary. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured cutting board and gently press out until about 2cm thick. Using a glass or scone cutter dipped in flour cut scones. Place on a greased baking sheet with the scones just touching. Bake in a 200 degree Celsius oven for 15 - 20 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

The scones will rise higher and bake better if they are just touching each other on the baking tray. You can easily pull them apart once they are cooled.
