Cheese Scones have been a long time favourite of mine. Freshly made and nice and warm, a good cheese scone is delicious. Homemade cheese scones are by far the best. Now you should make some yourself. This hub has one of the best cheese scone recipes around.

Ingredients

225g/8oz self raising flour

pinch of salt

55g/2oz butter

25g/1oz mature cheddar cheese, grated

150ml/5fl oz milk

Method

1. Heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Lightly grease a baking sheet. 2. Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter. 3. Stir in the cheese and then the milk to get a soft dough. 4. Turn on to a floured work surface and knead very lightly. Pat out to a round 2cm/¾in thick. Use a 5cm/2in cutter to stamp out rounds and place on the baking sheet. Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up. 5. Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk. Bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
