  • tsp baking soda 
  • tsp cream of tartar 
  • tsp salt 
  • tsp sugar 
  • 25 butter melted
  • 300 ml milk at room temperature

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas
  2. Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl and make a large well in the middle.
  3. Combine the melted butter and milk, then pour into the well.
  4. Mix to a soft dough.
  5. Dust the work surface with flour.
  6. Add most of the cheddar, 2 tbsp of the pumpkin seeds and the chopped peppers to the dough. Gently knead to combine on the floured surface. Divide into eight lumps and shape into rough rounds two finger-widths deep.
