Ingredients:450g self-raising flour2 tsp baking powder2tsp mustard powder1tsp salt100g butter, cubed50g parmesan cheese, finely grated100g cheddar cheese1 garlic clove crushed6tsp finely chopped chives2 eggsAbout 150ml milk(I didn’t have parmesan or chives so I used 150g of grated cheddar and no chives.)

your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add both cheeses with the garlic and chives.

3. Beat the eggs in a jug adding enough milk to make up to 300ml of liquid. Gradually add this to the mixture in the bowl and mix together to make a dough. Tip on to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth then divide into 22 equal sized balls.

4. Arrange the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet to form a round with all the balls just touching. Brush with any leftover liquid in the jug and sprinkle with parmesan.
