Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne pepper with a wooden spoon.
2. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until well combined.
3. Stir the cheese into the mixture, adding any extra ingredients now.
4. Pour in the milk and gently fold with a wooden spoon until the dough just starts to come together. Do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough onto the work surface, fold it over itself a few times to incorporate dry bits, without kneading.
6. Shape into a rectangle about 20 cm (8 in) long and 10 cm (4 in) wide, then cut into 6 or 8 scones.
7. Place on a lined baking sheet, brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with a little extra cheese.
8. Bake at 220°C (420°F) for 20–25 minutes, until puffed and deep golden brown.
9. Cool fully on the baking sheet before serving.
