Recipe Steps
- Preheat oven 425°F/220°C/Gas 8.
- Sieve flour and salt into a bowl, stir in sugar, if used.
- Rub in butter/margarine until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add grated cheddar cheese and mustard. Then add sufficient milk to make a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured board and gently knead to remove any cracks.
- Roll out lightly to 1″ in thickness. Cut out scones with a cutter dipped in flour.
- Place on a floured preheated baking tray, glaze if liked with beaten egg or milk.

Notes

- Quantities can be doubled if more scones are required.
