1/4 cup chopped parsley

Method

1.Preheat oven to 220°C. Lightly grease 2 baking trays.

2.Sift flour into a large bowl. Add butter, and rub in using fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in cheese walnuts and parsley. Season to taste.

3.Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Add combined milk and water all at once. Using a bread-and-butter knife, mix to a soft, sticky dough.

4.Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Separate mixture into 2 equal halves. Knead each gently and then press into rounds. Place both rounds on prepared tray. Brush with a little extra milk and sprinkle with sea salt.

5.Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and hollow when tapped on the underside. Serve damper warm, spread with butter.

Dust work surface with a little extra self-raising flour before kneading. Remember to handle the dough gently, to achieve a tender end result.
