Plain and Simple Cheese Scones

Preheat oven to gas mark 6/ 200 C/ 400 F. Grease a baking tray and dust with flour to stop the scones from sticking.

Rub together flour, salt and butter until the consistency of fine breadcrumbs.

Mix in the grated cheese until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Add the milk in 4 stages, as you may not need to use all of it. Once mixed together (it's best to use your hands!), form the dough into a ball and pat into a circle.

Roll out the dough to about 2 cm thick, then cut out your desired shapes. Place on your prepared baking tray and brush the tops with milk.

Place on the top shelf of the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Best eaten fresh from the oven!
