Recipe Method
Sift both the flours and the salt into a large bowl. Rub in the feta until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Mix in the chives and then the milk to make a soft dough.

Lightly flour a work surface and knead the dough until smooth. Roll out to a thickness of about 2cm, then cut out rounds with a 6cm cutter.

Place on a non-stick baking sheet. Brush with milk, then sprinkle over a little cayenne pepper. Bake for 15 minutes at 200c/gas6, until risen and golden. Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
