Thank you! Here you go...Those look bloody marvellous. What’s the recipe?
275g self raising flour
1 tsp bicarb
1 heaped tsp mustard powder
Half a tsp of fine sea salt
60g of very cold butter (I put it in the freezer for 20 mins)
210ml buttermilk
3 normal sized spring onions, finely sliced.
100g Stilton, crumbled up.
1 beaten egg
Poppy seeds
Sieve the dry ingredients together and stir, grate the butter in, then work them together with fingers until crumbly, like you're making shortcrust.
Pour in the buttermilk, spring onions and Stilton, and mix lightly with a fork until only just combined, try not to overmix.
Bring the dough together into a ball with floured hands, put it on a baking paper lined sheet and flatten it by hand to make a thick disc (a good inch thick). I shapes the edges into a tidy circle with a wooden spatula.
Slice the disc into 6, like a pizza, then just drag the slices out slightly with your knife so they're about 1cm apart. (See pic).
Brush with egg and sprinkle with a handful of poppy seeds. Into the oven at 190 to 200 for about 20 to 25 mins.
The slices meet up again in the oven and it ends up like a tear and share bread.
