WOYWW - 126 Part 2 - Cheese scone recipe.

Several people have asked for the recipe for these tasty cheese scones.  It came from Mollie Harris, who played Martha Woodford in The Archers.

Ingredients

3oz grated cheese (I prefer mature cheddar)

Pinch of cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon of dry mustard (Colemans)

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of baking powder

½ oz margarine

6 oz SR flour

Milk to make a soft dough

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, roll out and cut into scone shapes as usual.  Put on a flat baking tray, brush the tops with milk.  the cook at 425F, 220C or Gas Mark7 for about 10 minutes.  Remove from baking tray and put to cool on wire rack.

You can either cut them and butter them, or freeze them for use later, or even toast them in they last long enough to turn a bit stale.

Enjoy!
