""We need more cheese Gromit!" Very serious cheesy scones which use way more cheese than normal for a scone mix; they will not rise quite as high as plain scones - but as you can see from the photo, they get there! Try and use a good quality mature Cheddar or any local type of strong cheese that is available. They can be made in about 20 minutes, if you have all the ingredients to hand and the oven has been pre-heated. Great for afternoon tea, picnics, buffets & packed lunches. You can also add chopped chives & herbs for a change."

Ready In:: 20mins
Ingredients:: 9
Yields:: 12-14 Scones
Serves:: 6-7

ingredients

500 g plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon English mustard powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cayenne pepper
75 g butter
300 ml milk
200 g extra mature cheddar cheese, grated
1 egg, beaten

directions

Preheat oven to 220C/450F/Gas mark 7.
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
Rub in the butter until it remsembles crumbs.
Add 5 ounces of the grated cheese & mix well.
Add the milk and mix very quickly - do not over mix.
Mixture should be sticky and soft, if too dry, add more milk.
Place onto a floured board a knead briefly.
Roll out to about 3cms/1" thickness.
Stamp 12-14 rounds out of the dough - do NOT twist the scone cutters as it stops them from rising!
Place close together on a greased biscuit/baking tray.
Brush the beaten egg over each scone as a glaze and sprinkle the remaining 1 ounce of cheese over the top.
Bake in a pre-heated oven for 10-12 minutes until well risen and golden brown.
Cool slightly, then spilt them in half, butter them -- divine!

Proper scones! Full flavoured cheesy slightly spicy gorgeousness. Best cheese scone recipe I have tried. Thank you!

CHEESE! CHEESE! and more CHEESE!!! We loved these. The cayenne and mustard gave them a little zing! They were great with an omelet and bacon. I don't have a round cutter anymore, so I just cut mine into wedges. Very light and flaky. I will try them with herbs or chives, as suggested, next time!

500g flour and 75 g butter not enough butter to make breadcrumbs. Scones OK a little spicy but not fabulous. Disappointed.

Deeee-lish! We really enjoyed this cheesy recipe. I made on big, fat scone and cut it in wedges at the table just like Wallace would have wanted! My DH especially liked this. Thanks, French Tart!

MMMMMMMM! What a true winner! I made these scones for breakkie today and they were so cheesy, flaky and fluffy! The dough was very easy to work with and everything came together quite quickly. Instead of mustard I used more cayenne pepper, which made the scones just a little spicy. YUM! Thanks so much for sharing these lovely scones with us, French Tart! A definite keeper, which I will surely include into my scones routine from now on. Made as a THANK YOU for our wonderful, funny and commited hostess in Everyday is a Holiday Tag Game. We will miss you!

The sunflowers in the field behind my house in SW France: <img title=Sunflowers src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/DSCN8221.jpg alt=Sunflowers width=640 height=480 /> I am British (English-Scottish), but I was born in South Africa and have lived all over the world, including Hong Kong, Germany, Cyprus, USA & Singapore. I have also been very fortunate to have travelled extensively over the years.........I still have wanderlust! I used to be an English Literature & Art History teacher & lecturer; before that, I trained and worked as a Graphic Designer for many years. I now live in France with my husband & my daughter who has just started university in September 2006. We also have one very chatty Burmese cat Willow, who allows us to live with her here! (I used to have three cats, I recently lost Monty, a beautiful seal point Siamese and before that, Rama, who was a debonair blue point Siamese cat - I would love to have another Siamese cat or cats in the future!) This is my Burmese Cat, Willow, sunning herself on the log pile in the kitchen garden: <img title=My src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/ABaconButtyandSundryFoodPhotos34.jpg alt=My width=640 height=480 /> Here is my lovely Monty, a seal point Siamese, and Willow, sitting in the kitchen garden last year, and a few months before Monty died; he was 18yrs old: <img title=Monty src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/AbsolutelySinfulStickyToffeePudding.jpg alt=Monty width=640 height=480 />My This is my wonderful old boy, Rama, a blue-point Siamese, who died when he was 20yrs old - excuse the old and much sellotaped photo: <img title=Rama src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Rama1stOctober2004164.jpg alt=Rama width=517 height=639 /> My favourite pastimes are: reading, writing, painting & drawing, photography, gardening, anything creative, walking, travelling, dining out and of course COOKING! I love all types of cuisine, but especially Traditional British - and NO it is NOT all bad!! I particularly love food associated with the changing seasons plus traditional feasts & festivals, as well as Slow Cooking. I also enjoy French & North African cuisine, come to think of it, there isn't much I don't like! My husband & I run a Chambres D'Hotes, (Bed and Breakfast) called Auberge de la Fontaine here in beautiful South West France; we specialise in Gourmet Food & Wine Breaks, French Antiques & Restoration courses, French Language courses and French Cookery classes. Our home is completely furnished with Antique French furniture that we have rescued & restored ourselves. Our charming village has one of the oldest Churches in the region & it is famous for its connection with the St.Jacques de Compostella Pilgrimage route, as well as being within the Cognac & Bordeaux wine growing area. We have a wonderful garden where we grow ALL of our own herbs and most of our fruit and vegetables. I specialise in rare, unusual and old-fashioned herbs, which I grow in our walled garden. As well as growing herbs, I also grow many different varieties of lavender, old-fashioned shrub roses and heirloom fruit and vegetables. We have lived overseas for many, many years now - but we both still love going home to Northern England, near Scarborough & York, to visit our family & friends. We also love indulging in dining out when we are there, in a wide variety of EXCELLENT Gastro-Pubs that we have in North Yorkshire; and popping in to have a Pint of REAL ENGLISH ALE in our local pub is a always a must!! <a href=http://photobucket.com/images/merci%20beaucoup target=_blank><img src=http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp287/vi-vie15/Merci/hb09izl7.gif border=0 alt=merci /></a> A Message to all who make and review my recipes! I try very hard to reply to EACH and EVERYONE of you who kindly makes, reviews and photographs my recipes!

I would just like to thank you ALL in advance, and just in case I am late or forgetful in sending a personal thanks.
