Ingredients
350g (12oz) self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
75g (3oz) butter, plus extra for spreading
2 tbsp chopped chives
green food colouring
175ml (6fl oz) milk
6 Edam slices, halved diagonally
3 smoked ham slices, halved
12 pimento stuffed olives
Method
Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the flour, baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl and rub in the butter. Stir in the chives.
Add the green food colouring to the milk (the more you add, the greener your monsters will be!). Stir the milk into the flour mixture, mixing to form a soft dough. Lightly knead to combine, then tip out the dough onto a lightly foured surface and roll into a 1cm (1/2in) thick oblong, about 14cm x 20cm (6in x 8in). Using a round 6.5cm (2.5in) cutter, stamp out 6 rounds. Space them out on a baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes, or until risen and golden.
Remove the scones from the oven and set aside on a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the cooled scones in half and butter both sides. Cut the edges of the halved cheese slices into jagged ‘V’ shapes to make monsters’ ‘teeth’. Arrange each ham slice between 2 cheese slices for the ‘tongues’. Position on the bottom of each scone. Sandwich with the matching tops.
Using cocktail sticks (don’t forget to remove the cocktail sticks before eating!), affix 2 olives to the top of each scone for the monsters’ ‘eyes’. Arrange on a serving platter.
