Spinach and Cheese Scones

You will need:

250g packet of frozen spinach, that has been thawed and all the excess moisture removed. Chop finely.

2.5 cups SR flour

1 tbs caster sugar

50g butter, chopped

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated

3/4 cup milk

Preheat your oven to 240 degrees or 220 degrees for fan forced.

Oil a cake pan. This recipe calls for a deep 20cm square cake pan. I used a slice tin, and it worked fine, so use whatever is easiest for you.

Sift the flour into a bowl with the caster sugar, then rub in the butter. Stir in the cheese, spinach and milk. Mix to form a soft, sticky dough. Turn the dough out on to a floured bench top and knead until lightly. Press the dough out to about 2cm thick and cut into 16 rounds. Place the scones (they should just be touching each other) into the pan and bake for 20 mins.

These are nicest warm from the oven.
