Cheese Scone Recipe

Here is the cheese scone recipe - the photo I posted on my blog on Thursday. i'll put the photo in again.......... 

CHEESE SCONES

2 cups self-raising flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon butter

250 grams grated cheese

3/4 cup milk

mixed herbs of your choice

Sift flour and salt together.  Rub in butter.  Add 3/4 of the cheese and enough milk to form soft dough.  Knead gently.  Cut scones and place on buttered tray.  Top with remaining cheese, sprinkle with herbs and bake in a hot oven 220 degrees C for 15-20 minutes till cooked, serve hot.  Yummy with real butter!

When I make these i throw the flour and salt into the food processor and give it a whiz, then add the butter and give it a bit more of a whiz, add the cheese and enought of the milk to form a soft dough or till it forms a ball around the blade of the food processor, throw it out on a floured board, flatten with my hands and then cut them out. 

Ideally fresh herbs cut in quite chunky bits are just beautiful, but dried herbs work just as well.

I will be getting photos developed tomorrow so this is another one I have to add to my recipe book.

Happy cooking ;0)
