Ingredients
  

  • 250 ml amasi maas or buttermilk
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper optional

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Grease the muffin tins.
  • Add all the ingredients to a big bowl and mix until incorporated. Do not overmix, as it could result in dense scones.
  • Spoon the mixture into your muffin pan. Pro-tip: use an ice-cream scoop to get equal sized scones.
  • Bake until golden brown 15–20 min, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
