Yet another recipe handed down to me by my mother. Deliciously light and fluffy scones made from a totally reliable recipe.
Preheat your oven to 180ºC, Gas mark 6.
Add the flour, baking powder, margarine or butter, salt and 100g of Cheddar Cheese to a mixing bowl and mix together. Add the milk until the mixture combines with the milk. Do not overmix.
Drop the mixture onto a floured surface and roll out to a thickness of 3cm. Using a pastry cutter, cut out your scones and place on a non-stick tray. Sprinkle over each scone a little of the remainder of the cheddar cheese.
Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Delicious served with fresh salted butter.
