Cheese Scones
8oz (220g) Self Raising Flour

1/4pt Milk

1tsp Baking Powder

1oz (30g) Butter

4oz (110g) Mature Cheddar Cheese, grated

Pinch of Salt

Extra Flour for dusting

1. Pre-heat oven to 220C/480F (200C/400F for a fan oven)
2. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt
3. Rub in butter
4. Add cheese, and gradually stir in milk to form an elastic, but not sticky dough
5. Dust a surface, a rolling pin, and your hands with flour, and roll the dough to about half an inch thick, and cut with a round cutter
6. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper, and place scones about an inch apart to allow to rise
7. Bake for 10 minutes, until golden brown

Try adding chives with the cheese, or raisins and 1oz of sugar instead of cheese for a sweet option
