Ask a Chef reveals the secrets of those superb dishes you ate in cafes and restaurants and wanted to try yourself.

This week: Wobbly Goat Cafe's spinach and feta pinwheel scones.


Mixture:
6 cups self-raising flour
2 ½ cups grated tasty cheese
Approx 2 ½ cups green-top milk

Filling:
red capsicum pesto
baby spinach leaves
tasty grated cheese
diced red capsicum
feta cheese


Heat oven to 190degC. Grease a baking tray. Sift flour into a bowl, then stir in grated cheese and make a well in the centre. Pour in the milk and mix just enough to form a slightly sticky dough.

Turn dough on to a lightly-floured work surface. Knead lightly, just to bring the mix together. Roll into a large rectangle, about 5mm thick. Spread the surface with pesto and scatter with grated cheese and remaining ingredients. Roll up to form a long log.

Cut log into slices and arrange, spiral side up, on the greased baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes or until firm and golden brown.
