HM Cheese scones

  • I printed out this recipe this morning as I'd been planning to make some cheese scones.

    Then I got on with the essay and teaching plan for the student midwife I am assessing nest week (I am doing the assessors coures and am being assessed while I assess the student!!)

    There I was cutting and pasting and jigging things round when to my amazement. Right in the middle of a page of 'Reasons to carry out an internal examination ' came a recipe for cheese scones ! Slightly off topic !

    Maybe it should have come later....'distract the woman by offering a cheese scone ' !
    Or...distract the assessor by offering cheese scones !

    Well afrer follwoing your advice I made the now infamous cheese scones last night and they appeared to turn out right!:j
    I only put about a teaspoon of "runny" mustard in as I was unsure whether I'd like it and think that next time I coudl do with a bit more but they're OK! AM AMAZED- I never thought I could "Bake" - I know its only easy peasy stuff to most of you but its a major triumph to me!

    Just another question.... Do you eat yours with anything?

    Thanks again - very much appreciated!

    I wouldn't have minded a cheese scone during my labours! Protein and carbohydrates for energy, good food!

    I like mine with a little bit of cheese spread and maybe sliced tomato as well.

    The mustard makes so much difference!

    Yum yum

  • Does anyone use buttermilk for their cheese scones? I have a really good recipe which I use for 'sweet scones' which is self-raising flour, buttermilk thinned with a little full cream milk, sugar, salt and butter. Could I adapt this by leaving out the sugar and adding grated cheddar and English mustard? Have seen loads of cheese scone recipes online but none with buttermilk...

  • butter was on special offer so I thought I'd make scones to take to work for lunch...saves buying bread too. But I didnt want to buy cheese as it's so expensive.

    Soooo I made a batch of scone mix using 225g flour, added 3 tsp wholegrain mustard and 2 tsp basil and and dissolved a stock cube into the milk before mixing...I haven't had actual cheese scones for a while but I think these are not dissimilar :)

    i expect a lot of people figured this out before me :o but I hope it's useful for some of you. x

    Sounds good. Where is butter on offer? I use loads
  • morrisons...it's usually 84p but it was 50p last week. It's the cheapy value one though but I can't taste the difference :)
