Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Self-raising flour
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 150 ml Milk
- 150 g Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 100 g Sliced ham
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and salt.
Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk, mixing as you go, to form a soft dough. Add more milk if the dough seems too dry.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently for 1-2 minutes, then roll it out into a rectangle roughly 30cm by 20cm.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1cm border along one long edge.
Lay the ham slices evenly across the top of the cheese.
Starting from the long edge without the border, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into approximately 12 even pieces.
Place the pieces cut-side up on the prepared baking tray, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush the tops of the scrolls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
