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.
