These are, without a doubt, the yummiest scones in the world. They’re quick and easy to make too, and I bet you could have heaps of fun varying the flavours. Strictly speaking, a scone should be made up of 3 parts dry ingredients and 1 part wet. But you know, rules schmules.

This recipe made about 12 scones. Thanks to Karen Cheng for the original recipe, which I modified a little on the spur of the moment!

INGREDIENTS

2.75 cups self-raising flour
75g butter
1.25 cups grated cheese
1/2 tsp sea salt
2-3 Tsp chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup milk

METHOD

Sift the flour, and rub together with the butter. Add the cheese, chives and salt, and stir well. Add the milk, combine well until it forms a soft dough. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more flour.

Knead the dough lightly, and spread it flat with your hands to a thickness of 1-2cm. Use a scone cutter to cut circles from the dough (I couldn’t find mine, so I used a glass!) and place them onto an oiled tray.

Cook for 10-15 mins at 230ºC/450ºF, or until golden brown. And if you don’t eat them hot with a little butter you’re crazy.

These are incredibly good, for such minimal effort!
