In a large bowl, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
4 oz wholemeal flour, 4 oz plain flour (all purpose flour), 1 tsp cream of tartar, ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), 1 oz unsalted butter
Stir ¾ of the cheese into the mixture along with the salt and pepper.
pinch sea salt, 2 oz mature cheddar cheese, 1 grind black pepper
Make a well in the centre. Break in the egg and pour in the kefir or buttermilk.
1 egg, 125 ml kefir, buttermilk, sour milk or watered down yoghurt
Stir with a round-bladed knife from the inside out until the mixture comes together.
Roll out into a rectangle about ¼ in / 1 cm thick.
Spread the pesto over the top in a thin layer, leaving a slight gap around the edges.
1 tbsp wild garlic pesto
Roll it up as tightly as possible on the long side to form a log then slice into 8 pieces.
Lay the pieces out onto a lined baking tray and top with the remaining cheese.
Bake at 200℃ (400℉, Gas 6) for 20 minutes when the tops should be golden and the bottoms sounding hollow when tapped.
Notes
Don't worry if the mixture is a little sticky, just flour the rolling surface well.If you don't have cream of tarter, just omit this and the bicarbonate of soda and use 1 ½ tsp of baking powder instead.Please note: calories and other nutritional information are per serving.
