Wendy is the Federal Member for Brand and was a guest speaker in a series called UPDate Your Life, which featured successful and interesting women. Wendy certainly qualifies on both these aspects and she presented a very stimulating and thought-provoking evening.
Cheese Scones
Credit for this one has to go to “Cranks” – that wonderful group of health food restaurants in England. I found the recipe ion one of the “Cranks” cookbooks, which are a great investment if you ever come across them.
Ingredients
450 g 100% wholemeal flour
30 ml baking powder
Large pinch salt
Lange pince cayenne pepper
50 g butter
300 g Cheddar cheese, grated
284 ml milk
Method
Put the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne in a basil, Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in 225 g cheese and sufficient milk to give a soft, manageable dough. Knead gently, then roll out to 2.5 cm thickness. Stamp out 7.5 cm rounds with a fluted cutter. Brush with milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven at 200° for about 20 minutes, until golden. Cool on a wire tray.
Makes 15 scones.
