Fresh batch?

Baking powder loses its 'potency' over time

Use baking soda and cream of tartar, way better.
enjoy

Pull apart Cheese and onion... Scones.
4 cups of flour,
1 tsp salt,
2 tsp baking soda,
4 tsp cream of tartar,
200grams of grated cheese,
1/2 a medium onion very finely chopped,
1 egg,
100 grams of melted butter,
1 and 1/2 cups of milk, may need a little more
Sift all the dry ingredients,
melt the butter,
beat the egg in a measuring jug,
add the melted butter,
then milk to make up to 2 cups of liquid
add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients ,
mix lightly, adding more milk so the mixture is not crumbly at all,
I tip my scones straight out onto a floured baking tray.
I cut them on the tray, using a wet knife
I sprinkle more grated cheese over the top,
bake 15-20 minutes in a 250%C oven.
