Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220*C/425*F/ gas mark 7. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Sift the flour into a bowl along with the salt, mustard powder, cayenne pepper and baking powder. Drop in the butter and rub it into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Stir in 2/3 of the cheese.

Step 3

Break the egg into a measuring jug and add milk to give you the equivalent of 5 fluid ounces (1/4 pint). Stir this into the dry mixture and mix to a soft but not sticky dough. Turn out onto a floured board and knead lightly for a few turns. Pat out into a 6 inch round.

Step 4

Stamp out into rounds using a sharp round (2 1/2 inch) cutter and place onto the baking sheet. Brush the tops with a bit more milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Step 5

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until well risen and golden. Slip onto a wire rack to cool. Best eaten on the day.
