Gary Mehigan’s savoury cheddar, feta and olive scones make a great tea-time treat lathered in butter or crème fraîche
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 150ml Milk, plus extra for brushing
- 150ml double cream
- 300g self-raising flour, plus extra for flouring
- 50g Feta cheese
- 50g Cheddar cheese, grated
- 50g kalamata olives
- Butter, for greasing
- salted butter or Crème fraîche, to serve
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.2. Whisk the eggs, cream and milk together in a bowl. Sieve the flour into a separate bowl and add the liquid mixture to the flour, gently mixing. Before all the ingredients are fully incorporated, stir in the feta, cheddar, olives and a pinch of salt.
3. Gently mix to make a soft dough. Dust a clean work surface with flour and tip the dough onto the floured surface. Roll out to 2-3 cm thickness and cut out circles with a cookie cutter.
4. Grease a baking tray with butter, transfer the dough circles onto the tray and brush with a little milk.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the scones are golden-brown, puffed up slightly and cooked all the way through. Serve warm with salted butter or crème fraîche.

I added much more flour in order to make a soft dough.
