(Very Easy) Very Cheesy Scones

Another one of Mums gluten-free recipes adapted from one of my Nana's recipes - these tasty scones are just as easy as the plain scones. Great with salad, all they need is a little bit of butter (or margarine).

Ingredients:

8 oz Gluten-free flour (or plain flour)
2 oz Butter
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
A Pinch of Salt
175g Grated Cheese (approx)
Milk (as needed)

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 180'c and then measure out the ingredients.

As with the plain scones, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl with the butter, then using your hands, rub the flour into the butter (until it looks like breadcrumbs).

Mix in the grated cheese so it is distributed evenly throughout the mixture.

Then make a well in the dry mixture and pour in a small amount of milk. Mix this together, using a butter knife and keep adding milk to the mixture until it starts to come together as a dough.

Flour a work-surface or board and flatten out the mixture onto the surface, using your hand, until it is about 1inch thick. Then cut out circles (big or small!) using a cutter.

Place the scones onto a tray (lined with baking paper to stop them sticking and save on the washing up!) and place in the oven for approximately 15min (or until golden brown).

When you're happy that the scones are cooked, leave them to cool on a cooling rack before halving and serving with butter, for an especially tasy treat try them whilst they are still warm enough for the butter to melt!
