EASY CHEESE AND GARLIC SCONES
This is my favorite, very simple, recipe for savory scones. They are wonderful served hot, spread with a little butter, and eaten alongside a steamy hot soup. It's important not to over handle these scones, as they will be heavy and tough.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a large baking tray inside. Sift the flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder into a bowl, then sift again to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add the butter to the bowl and combine with your fingertips to make breadcrumbs. Sprinkle 100g of the cheese into the breadcrumb mixture and rub together until evenly distributed. Try not to mix too much as the heat from your hands may start to melt the butter.
- Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in enough milk to give a fairly soft but firm dough. Do not pour in all the milk at once as you may not need it all to get the right consistency.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to approximately 2cm thick. Cut out the scones with a medium (about 8cm) cutter, then put on a sheet of baking parchment, glaze with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Slide onto the hot oven tray.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until golden brown and cooked through.

Steps:
- Pre-heat your oven to 180°C.
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne and cheddar, reserving just a little to sprinkle on the tops of the scones.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the milk and oil.
- Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture and combine together with a spoon and then your hands. If the mixture won't hold together, add a splash more milk until it does.
- Use your hands to flatten the dough until it's about half a centimetre thick. Fold in half and flatten again to the same thickness.
- Use a cutter of your choice to press out the scones and arrange them on a baking tray. They don't spread much so you don't have to worry about leaving a large gap between each one. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar over the tops of the scones and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
- Bake until golden.

CHEESE SCONES
This is one of a few recipes that I got from doing home economics in school, so is one of the first things I cooked/baked. The mustard and pepper are optional, and along with the salt and cheese, you can experiment and vary the quantities of these ingredients to suit your own tastes. Diabetics may also appreciate this recipe as it has no added sugar.

Steps:
- Sieve flour, salt, pepper and mustard together into a mixing bowl.
- Cut the margarine into smaller blocks, and then rub in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Beat the egg and mix with the milk in a small basin.
- Make a well in the centre of flour mixture, add the cheese (save a little to sprinkle over the scones) and pour in a bit of the egg and milk mixture at a time, mixing with a blunt knife, until you get a soft, but not sticky dough. If you find the mixture too dry, you can add some more milk.
- Lightly flour the work surface so the dough doesn't stick, and roll out the dough until it is about half an inch (1cm) thick.
- Use a scone cutter (you can lightly dust it with flour to stop it from sticking) of a size of your choice and cut out the scones from the dough. You can keep gathering up the off-cuts and re-rolling it out until you use it all.
- Place the scones on a greased baking tray, or on baking paper in the tray and brush the tops with milk and sprinkle on some cheese.
- Bake at gas mark 8, 500 Fahrenheit or 250 Celsius for about 10 minutes, or until the tops have turned a golden brown.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients, including cold butter and freshly grated cheese. This will ensure that your scones are light and fluffy.
- Make sure to work quickly when mixing the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
- If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour. Be sure to cut the butter into small pieces so that it will distribute evenly throughout the dough.
- Don't overmix the wet and dry ingredients. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- Gently fold the cheese into the dough until just combined. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
- If you like, you can brush the tops of the scones with melted butter or milk before baking. This will give them a golden brown crust.
- Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
These easy cheese scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also perfect for packing in lunches or taking on picnics.
