Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
  • Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Pour in the milk and mix with a wooden spoon to create a soft dough.
  • Gently knead the crumbled cheese into the dough until evenly distributed.
  • Shape the dough into a rough round and place on a floured baking tray.
  • Flatten the top slightly and brush with milk to glaze.
  • Grate extra cheese over the top and score a deep cross into the dough.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until the topping is golden-brown and crisp.
  • Serve warm with chutney or pickle.
