Ingredients
- 225g/8oz self-raising flour
- pinch of salt
- 55g/2oz butter
- 25g/1oz mature cheddar, grated
- 150ml/5fl oz milk
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter. Stir in the cheese.
- Stir in the milk until you get a soft, sticky dough (you may not need all the milk).
- On a floured work surface, knead the dough very lightly. Pat out to a round 2cm/¾in thick.
- Use a 5cm/2in cutter to stamp out rounds. Place on the baking sheet. Lightly knead together the offcuts of dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up.
- Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk. Bake for 12–15 minutes until well risen and golden-brown. Cool on a wire rack.
