Heat oven to 220C

2 cups flour  910 cals
4 teaspoons baking powder  19 cals
1/2 teaspoon salt    0 cals
54 gms butter   387 cals
1 cup buttermilk   137 cals
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese  218 cals
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme  1 cal
Pinch Cayenne Pepper


Sift dry ingredients into large bowl
Grate butter into flour
and rub between fingers till it looks like breadcrumbs
Or use a pastry cutter

Make a well and add cheese thyme and butter milk.
Mix quickly and you may need to add a little extra milk.
I like the dough to be wet

Turn out onto floured surface and pat out to about ¾ inch
Cut into pieces
And place on oven tray I like to line my trays with baking paper.
Brush with a little milk

Cook 17 minutes
They were lovely just as they are
I didn't even need to butter mine.
Yum
