Method

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Combine the flour (225 g), baking powder (3 tsp), salt (1 tsp) and cayenne (1/2 tsp) in a large bowl.
step 2
Grate in the butter (50 g), then rub in with your fingertips to fully combine.
step 3
Add most of the cheese (125 g), saving a large handful to scatter on top, and stir in the spring onions (3).
step 4
Combine the milk (70 ml) with 60ml water. Carefully mix in until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overwork.
step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and flatten it down into a 2.5cm rectangle. Cut into five long triangles.
step 6
Place on a greaseproof-lined baking tray. Beat the egg (1) with another tiny splash of milk and brush over the scones. Sprinkle over the remaining cheddar. Bake for 13 minutes, or until golden, then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
step 7
While the scones are baking, bring a pan of water to the boil, then turn down to a simmer. Place the eggs (5) into the pan and boil for 8 minutes then plunge into cool water.
step 8
Beat the butter (50 g) with the chilli jam (2 tsp) until light and fluffy.
step 9
Peel the eggs and slice.
step 10
Serve the scones filled with the chilli butter, sliced eggs and ham (115 g).
step 10 Serve the scones filled with the chilli butter, sliced eggs and ham (115 g).
