Method

  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 but used gluten free (GF) SR Flour, GF oats, dairy free spread (Pure), unsweetened soya milk and goats cheese. Added an egg plus extra oats for texture and some GF bicarb of soda to help them rise a little more. The mixture was a bit sticky so spooned it onto baking tray. Came out great. Delicious treat for food intolerances and for my Diabetic daughter.

    I followed recipe exactly and they came out really well. One thing I would suggest is to use VERY strong quality cheese with parmesan too or add mustard poweder etc because they are a little bit bland and need a bit of oomph! Cute though!

    These were really delicious! I will definitely be making these again. I made them with half fat cheddar, 1% milk and stork instead of butter which made each scone under 100cal, 4g fat and 1g saturated fat. A lighter version, but just as indulgent.

    These are lovely but next time I think I'll use red leicester cheese because that will create a marbled effect when the scones are split and red cheese has a lovely taste when cooked.

    Made these for a picnic - could have easily made double and still not brought any home. Added a little extra cheese and some chives, did not put anything on top. My 8 year old daughter (who hates cheese, but loves cheese sauce) ate 4!

    Simple and tasty, but lends a little more flavour with a sprinkle of pepper into the dry mix.

    Made these today and they were lovely. They didnt seem to rise much though - I think I maybe rolled the dough out too thinly. When I make them again I will definitely add a bit of black pepper and maybe even some paprika to the dry mix to give them a bit more flavour and I am also keen to try the chopped chive and dried herb idea. Looks like i'll be making plenty more batches!

    I made these at the start of the week, but even adding some extra mustard powder and parsley I found them a bit bland. Tried again today with some coarse mustard and a dash of tabasco and they are a bit more flavourful. I will definitely try again with some stronger cheese too. Yum!
