1 teaspoon mustard powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

30 gram chilled, chopped butter

3/4 cup tasty cheese, shredded

1 bunch chopped chives

3/4 cup milk

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. In a large bowl, stir flour, mustard and salt together.

2.Add butter. Using fingertips, rub in until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

3.Stir cheese and herbs through. Make a well in centre of mixture. Pour in milk all at once.

4.Stir lightly until mixture comes together (see notes).

5.Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Form into a 15cm rustic round shape.

6.Transfer to tray. Bake 35-40 minutes, until cooked when tested with a skewer (it will be clean when removed) and base sounds hollow when tapped. Serve warm with butter.

Use a light touch and be careful not to over-mix the dough or it will become tough.
