Onion Parmesan Scones
makes about 15

1 tbsp butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups self-raising flour
pinch of salt
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
pepper, for sprinkling

Preheat the oven to 210 C/415 F. Prepare pans by greasing them with some butter.
Melt the butter in a small pan; add the onions and cook for a few minutes.
Mix together flour, salt, and Parmesan. Make a well, and add the onions, milk, and water to it.
Mix into a soft dough, adding more flour or more liquid if necessary.
Briefly knead the dough and then roll it out to an inch thickness. Cut out rounds of dough of about 3 inches wide.
Place on prepared baking sheets, and sprinkle with pepper.
Cook for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
