Easy lunchtime scones :))

Who says scones have to be circles haha!!! Enjoying a nice lunch of goats cheese and roasted red pepper scones, even had some help making them from my three year old :) Heres my super easy cheese scone recipe, easy to adapt to your own taste

225g/8oz self raising flour
pinch of salt
55g/2oz butter
25g/1oz goats cheese (or any other cheese you fancy) grated
150ml/5fl oz milk
Roasted red peppers (either roast yourselves or from a jar) another alternative is sundried tomatoes

Heat the oven to 220C/200C/425F/Gas 7. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with baking paper
Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter.
Stir in the cheese and red peppers and then add the milk to get a soft dough (use a knife to bind)
Turn on to a floured work surface and knead very lightly. Pat out to a round 2cm/¾in thick. Use a 5cm/2in cutter to stamp out rounds and place on the baking sheet. Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk. Bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
