Cheese Scones These easy-to-make savory scones are delicious hot or cold. Recipe for Cheese Scones, contributed by Janey Macleod When I make scones, they're usually the rich, fruity variety (see my recipe). But when I'm in the mood for something more savory, these cheese-topped scones fit the bill nicely. They're delicious when split, toasted and buttered, and they're also nice cold. The quantities given here will make about ten scones.
Oven: Pre-heat to 400F (200C) Place the flour, salt and mustard in a large bowl. Add the butter or margarine, and rub in until crumbly. Do the same with the cheese, but reserve a couple of tablespoons for the topping. Beat the egg and stir it into the mixture. Add just enough milk to bind the flour to a soft dough. Roll out the dough on a floured board to a thickness of about three quarters of an inch (2 cm). Cut into 2¼-inch (6 cm) rounds (I use a cookie cutter for this, but you can also use an inverted cup). Place the scones on an oiled baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little milk, and sprinkle them with the remaining cheese, pressing this down with a knife so that it covers each scone. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Leave to cool on a wire rack. Recipe for Cheese Scones (October 2008)
