Serve hot, with a dollop of melting butter over the cheesy bread, these are the best!

Another kiddy winner, and a great one for them to learn in the kitchen – three ingredients, rolling dough, and cutting shapes. Adults love these too of course – and they are quick to make for an afternoon tea.

"These are my favourite - so yum – the recipe is from my mother-in-law"- Natasha De Silva.

Add the below to a mixing a bowl:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour- or plain
  • 1.5 cups grated cheese (can use low fat)
  • 1 cup milk
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Method

Mix ingredients with a knife just until all blended well together – do not over mix to keep scones light and airy.

You can either place a decent blob of mixture on to a baking dish lined with baking paper, or for a neater look you can pat out or gently roll the dough to 1 inch/2.5cms high cut to size with a 15-20cm round pastry cutter (dip in flour if dough gets sticky).
