Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas 6.

2. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

3. Sift the flour, baking powder and sea salt into a bowl.

4. Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

5. Stir in two-thirds of the grated cheese, followed by the mustard, thyme and cayenne.

6. Using a knife, gradually cut in enough of the milk to make a soft dough.

7. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of 1.5cm. Cut into circles with a pastry cutter or upturned glass.

8. Place the circles on the greased baking sheet. Sprinkle them with the remaining cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes.

9. Transfer to a wire cooling rack for 5 minutes, then eat hot with lashings of good country butter.
