• Step 1

  Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas 7 and line a baking sheet with baking paper.

• Step 2

  Measure the flour and baking powder into a large bowl with the mustard, salt and butter. Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add both cheeses with the garlic and chives.

• Step 3

  Beat the eggs in a jug, adding enough milk to make up to 300ml (10fl oz) of liquid. Gradually add this to the mixture in the bowl and mix together to make a dough (see tip). Tip on to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, then divide into 22 equal-sized balls.

• Step 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 the extra Parmesan.

• Step 5

  Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until well risen and golden on top and underneath. Serve warm with butter.

  Mary’s foolproof tip
  A scone dough should be fairly sticky rather than dry. If it is on the wet side, it gives a better rise and the resulting scones are very moist.
