Ingredients for 8-10 scones:
2 cups self-raising flour, sieved
2 tablespoons cream or butter
2-3 teaspoons dried herbs
2 sundried tomatoes, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons grated cheese
milk to mix
salt and pepper

Mix cream into flour (or rub butter in). Add cheese, herbs, tomatoes, pepper and salt, and mix. Mix with a little bit of milk to form a dough. Knead lightly.

Press out dough to 1 inch thickness. Cut out rounds. Arrange on baking tray, brush with milk (and sprinkle with cheese, if you like).

Cook in 220C/425F oven for 10-15 minutes. Oven must be very hot from start. Turn it on to preheat before you start making the dough.

Nice with soup.
