Scones - Here's my epic cheese scone recipe:-

4 oz (100g) plain white flour
4 oz (100g) wholewheat flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp salt
2 oz (50g) margarine
6 oz (150g) strong cheddar cheese, grated
� pint (150 ml) milk (any sort)
� tsp cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 450 deg F, Gas Mark 8, 230 deg C. Mix flours, bicarb, cream of tartar and salt together, then rub in the margarine. Add 4 oz of the cheddar and nearly � pint of milk, mix quickly with a fork and combine to form a stiff dough. Roll out on a floured board to �� thick and cut into rounds with a 2�� fluted cutter. Place scones on floured baking tray, brush each with a little milk. Mix the remaining 2 oz cheddar with the cayenne pepper and sprinkle over the top of each scone. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until risen and golden brown. Remove from baking sheet and serve warm with butter. Also very nice cold !

For fruit or plain scones - have a look at these recipes already given on AB:-
