I love cheese and I love a good scone. Especially at tea time. This particular recipe is a favourite of mine as it combines to of my favourite things to eat and is very simple make as there is no butter to cut in. I like to make this using a smaller than normal cookie cutter as I usually make them along with other goodies for tea time or put a couple in my packed lunch to nibble on in the morning at work, after warming in the microwave for a few seconds.

How To Make english cheese scones

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C. Hand whisk together the oil, milk, water and egg and put to one side.

Step 2

In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder, salt and mustard powder together. Then stir in the cheese to the flour mix.
Step 3

Add the milk mix to the flour mix and bring together to form a light soft dough.
Step 4

Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to about 3/4 inch thick and cut into rounds - size of your choosing.
Step 5

Lay a sheet of greaseproof paper or silicone sheet on a baking tray. Place the rounds on the baking tray about an inch apart and bake for about 15 - 20 minutes until they turn golden.
Step 6

Turn out on to wire rack. Serve whilst still warm with lashings of butter and a nice cup of tea. Store in an airtight container and eat within 24 hrs. Re-warm in a microwave oven for a few seconds.
