Cheese Scones

3 cups of self raising flour
1/2 cup grated cheese
1 cup of milk - room temperature
80gm cubed butter - room temperature

Preheat oven AND tray to 220c

Add SRF and cheese to a large bowl, mix together with hands, add butter and rub with fingers until it goes like breadcrumbs.
Add milk in one go. Get a rounded knife and cut through till milk is mixed in well.
Use hands and kneed gently until smooth
Roll out about 2cm high and cut 5cm rounds out of it. Add a little more grated cheese to the top.
Place on hot oven tray.

Cook for 10 - 15 minutes until you can knock on the top of one and it sounds hollow.
Transfer onto a plate that has a tea towel draped over it
Wrap scones in teatowel. This keeps them warm and helps to make a nice crust.
Serve warm with butter.
