Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 210°C / Fan 190°C / Gas 7
2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
3. Add the cold butter, cut into small pieces, to the flour and using your fingertips carefully rub into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
4. Add the salt, cheese, mustard and onion seeds (if using) and mix together.
5. In a jug blend the egg and milk together.
6. Make a well in the center and pour a little of the egg/milk mix and stir with a table knife, continue to add the liquid until a dough has formed, you don't want it to be too sticky so you may not need all this mix (save it for brushing over the finished scones).
7. Dust your work-surface with a little flour and place the dough on it. Press or roll out to about 1½cm thickness. Using a cookie cutter cut discs and place on a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg/milk before baking in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
8. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
