Aimer faire plaisir à ceux qu'on aime

Ingredients 

• 375 ml (1 1/2 cup) flour
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) sugar
• 15 ml (1 tbsp.) baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 85 ml (1/3 cup) softened butter
• 5 ml (1 tsp.) fennel seeds
• 85 ml (1/3 cup) dried figs, chopped
• 250 ml (1 cup) of Cheddar From Here, grated
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) milk
• 1 beaten egg

Preparation 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add in the butter to obtain a granular mixture. Add the fennel seeds, figs, half of the grated Cheddar From Here (125 ml or 1/2 cup). Add in the milk and egg, and mix with a fork.

Place the dough on a floured work surface. Shape it into ball and knead for 1 to 2 minutes. Roll out the dough to a thickness of at least 2 cm (3/4 in). Cut out scones with a 4 cm (1 1/2 in) round pastry cutter. Place on a baking sheet. Add the remainder of the Cheddar From Here (125 ml or 1/2 cup).

Bake about 12 minutes or until the scones are golden. Serve warm with butter
