1. Heat oven to 220c/fan 200c/gas 7. Place the flour in a large bowl, then rub in the butter. Stir in the oats and cheese, then the milk - if it feels like it might be dry, add a touch more milk, then bring together to make a soft dough.
2. Lightly dust the surface with a little flour. roll out the dough no thinner than 2cm. Using a 4cm plain cutter, firmly stamp out the rounds - try not to twist the cutter as this makes the scones rise unevenly. re-roll the trimmings and stamp out more.
3. Transfer to a non-stick baking sheet, dust with a little more flour or grated cheese, then bake for 12-15 mins until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack before serving on their own or topped with mashed avocado, or soft cheese, and ham, cucumber or cress.

  Just made these for lunch - served them with a choise of blue cheese, cheddar and salad and they were a huge sucess - all guests have taken the recipe with them. This was my first attempt at scones and they are so easy. I copied Lauras idea of oats as well as cheese on top and they were lovely.

  Made these today with the cheese & oats on top. Yum! I found the recipe makes 12 ideal picnic-sized scones.

  I love these and make them in the summer each year. Great for picnics, and even as a side with salads and spreads for vegetarians.

  Great recipe but... it is greatly improved if you add half a teaspoon of dried mustard (Colman's is easily available) and a big pinch of dried herbs to the flour. Together they really add flavour to the scone and really compliment the cheese. Also, if you like a bit of a kick why not try a pinch of cayenne pepper - but don't add too much, a little goes a very long way.

  I added a beaten egg as part of the liquid content simply because I had just broken one....so successful that I always do now, they rise even more. I think they definitely need the cheese on top and I always use the strongest cheddar I can find. Superb and easy too.

  I doubled the recipe with the plan of putting half the scones in the freezer. That went to pot. Husband scoffed three, I had one. Gas bottle man can called and had SIX! Friends came around and cleared nine leaving only four for toasting the next day. Really lovely scones but when I make them again I will lock the door .....oOo.....

  great recipe, thought i had dibs on it until i saw it on here... i also used mustard (American Style, kids can't stand any other kind) and instead of herbs used some Encona Hot Pepper Sauce and instead of milk I used 200ml Buttermilk. They taste absolutely delish. even better when reheated from frozen.

  I've always loved cheese scones, and used to put the Colman's mustard powder through the mix. Now I'll try making them again - with the oats (hubby is diabetic). One of my favourite toppings is sliced tomato and hard-boiled egg.
