My cheese scones are epic...lol
4 oz wholewheat flour
4 oz plain white flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp salt
2 oz margarine
4 oz strong cheddar cheese in scones
1 oz strong cheddar cheese for topping
about 1/4 pint milk
good pinch of cayenne pepper
good pinch of dried mustard powder
Preheat oven (Gas 7, 425 deg C). Place all the dry ingredients into a large bowl, add marg and rub it in. Add cheese (4 oz) and nearly 1/4 pint of milk to form a stiff dough. Roll out dough onto a floured surface and cut into rounds with a 2" fluted cutter. Place rounds on a greased baking dish, brush each with a little milk or water and add a bit more of the cheese topping plus a bit of cayenne pepper. Bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until risen and golden brown. Remove from baking sheet and allow to cool slightly before serving warm with butter....
Total yumminess will be achieved..... honest !

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the cheese needs to be grated !
My recipe comes from a 1975 (!!!!!) booklet from "Friends of the Earth". Unfortunately, this booklet is in a slightly tatty condition (ahem,,, it is falling apart) but, seriously, this is a really good recipe that has never failed me.

Use hippyhoppy's recipe : 8oz sr flour, 2oz butter etc but I add a beaten egg to the milk + chopped chives or snipped sundried tomatoes to make it extra special.
I'm lazy now ,so don't bother with cutting out individual scones. Instead I make a round with the dough, flatten it with the palm of my hand, then with a knife score 8 wedges on the top of the dough - not right through, just to mark it. Then if the scone isn't needed immediately it's put it in a freezer bag (after cooling) and frozen up to 5 months. Adding an egg keeps it tasting perfectly well, not dry at all.
