Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl.

3. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse, fresh breadcrumbs.

4. Pour in the milk and mix with a wooden spoon to create a soft dough.

5. Add the crumbled cheese and ensure it is evenly distributed by gently kneading the dough with your hands.

6. Shape the dough into a rough round and place on a baking tray dusted with flour.

7. Press down on the top of the ball to flatten it slightly, then brush it with a little milk to glaze.

8. Grate some extra cheese over the top, then score a deep cross into the dough with a sharp knife to allow it to break into individual pieces when cooked.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for around 30 minutes, or until the cheese topping looks golden-brown and crisp.

10. Serve warm with your favourite chutney or pickle.
