Ingredients

• 75g butter, chopped

• 2 cups self-raising flour

• generous pinch cayenne pepper

• 180g Feta

• 250g packet frozen chopped spinach, thawed, excess liquid squeezed out

• 3/4 cup milk

• 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves

• milk, extra, for brushing

• butter, softened, extra, for serving

  Method

• Step 1 Rub butter into the combined flour and cayenne until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in feta.

• Step 2 Combine spinach, milk and thyme in a large jug and stir into dry ingredients with a table knife. Turn onto a lightly floured bench and knead only until mixture comes together and is smooth.

• Step 3 Pat mixture into a thick square, approximately 2cm thick (approximately 22cm x 22cm square) and cut into 9 squares with a sharp knife.

• Step 4 Arrange on a floured tray and brush the tops lightly with extra milk. Bake at 200°C for 18-20 minutes or until cooked and golden brown. Wrap in a clean tea towel for 5-10 minutes before serving warm with butter or accompanying a bowl of soup.
