Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for five minutes until smooth. Place the dough into a bowl, cover with lightly oiled cling film and leave it for about an hour in a warm place or until it has doubled in size.Now take a skillet and add a knob o butter, take your cleaned spring onions and char in the pan for 5 min and then remove. 
      3. Next the cheese sauce - Pour 500ml milk into a large saucepan and add 4 tbsp plain flour and 50g butter. Turn on the heat to medium and start to whisk the mixture. Whisk for another 2 mins while the sauce bubbles then stir in 100g grated vintage cheddar cheese and allow to thicken.
      4. Carefully roll the dough in to sliced bread sized pieces, turn up the edges now add a serving spoon of cheese sauce, the spring onions and a dusting of grated cheddar cheese. Place in a the oven at 190c for 20min or until golden and crispy. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve with a light salad.
