Cranks Cheese Scones

Preheat the oven to 200 deg C / 400 deg F / gas 6.

Put the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne pepper in a bowl.

Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

Stir in most of the cheese and sufficient milk to obtain a soft, easy-to-handle dough.

Knead gently, then roll out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 2.5 cm / 1 in. Stamp out 7.5 cm / 3 in rounds with a fluted cutter and place on a lightly greased baking tray.

Brush with milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until golden.

Cool on a wire tray and eat as soon as possible.
