Follow this and you won't go far wrong https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1666638/classic-cheese-scones though I pat the dough into place rather than roll it and use a fork to disperse the cheese rather than my hands.0

Not too difficult at all. The secret is to handle the dough as little as possible, I try to do more patting into shape than rolling out if I can as this seems to make my scones lighter,
My favourite recipe for cheese or any other scones is one of Nigella Lawsons' called Lily's Scones, available on line. I am very generous with the cheese:D
Hope you are able to make some nice ones.
ETA just seen Caronc's post, they look yummy too.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
Another who agrees they are very simple and quick to make! Also great to serve with autumn and winter soups.
My favourite recipe is Tesco's Chilli cheese scones recipe. Substitute yoghurt for the buttermilk / squeeze some lemon into milk instead.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

I'd already planned to make them today, and now I'm even hungrier! Seconding the BBC Good Food Recipe, and it also works with gluten free flour for those of you, like me, who need it.0

Damn it, I really want cheese scones now!!! Has anyone tried adding sundries tomatoes?0

Yes, and they work a treat. If they are just dried (not in oil), I'd recommend hydrating them in a little water first, else they may burn.Mummy2cheekymonkeys wrote: »Damn it, I really want cheese scones now!!! Has anyone tried adding sundries tomatoes?
If like me you use the oily ones and pair them up with cheese, you might want to either cut down on the butter or add a little extra flour. Otherwise the fat leaks out and ends up giving the bottom of the scone a certain crunch.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
