Method

Preheat oven to 220ºC (425ºF, gas mark 5) and lightly grease a baking tray.
Mix together the flour and salt, then rub in the butter.
Finely slice the red onion and cook over a medium heat along with the sugar and red wine vinegar until soft. This should take about 5 mins.
Stir in the Camembert, poppy seeds, Dijon mustard, milk and red onions to the flour mixture and form a soft dough.
Turn out on to a floured surface and lightly knead. Pat the dough out to form a round 2cm thick circle.
Using a 5cm cutter stamp out the scones until all the mix is used.
Place scones on baking tray, brush with milk and bake for 12-15 mins. Best served slightly warm.

Top Tip for making Poppy seed, cheese and onion scones

Top tip: Camembert cheese works best in these scones, but you can use any leftover cheese you have in this recipe like Cheddar or Stilton.
