Cheese and sun dried tomato scones with smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 190 C
2. If your sun dried tomatoes come in oil, place in a sieve, rinse them off and leave to dry.
3. Sift the flour in to a mixing bowl along with the salt and hot smoked paprika. Combine well with a spoon.
4. Grate the cheddar cheese and add 100g of it to the mix.
5. Add in the butter, and rub it through the flour mixture with the tips of your fingers to form a breadcrumb consistency. At this point you also want to add the sun dried tomatoes. Cut them up in to small pieces, and place them in the bowl.
6. Pour in the milk, and use your hands to mix the ingredients to form an orange dough.
7. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to around 2cm thick and cut out the scones using a cookie cutter.
8. Place the scones on to a well greased baking tray. Brush each of them with a little milk, and finally distribute the remaining 25g cheese evenly over the top of each one.
9. Bake for 12-13 minutes until golden and crisp on the outside.
