*Traditional Scottish Recipes*
 *- Cheese Scones*

*This is a tasty variation on the standard scones which are served at tea time.*

## Ingredients

- 6oz (180g or 1½ US cups) self raising flour

1oz (30g or ¼ stick) butter

1 large egg

2 or 2½ tbsp milk

4oz (125g or one stick) grated cheese (use whatever strength you prefer)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp mustard powder

Cayenne pepper to taste

## Method

Mix the flour, salt and pepper together. Rub in the butter and then mix in the cheese. Beat the egg and add in the milk; add mixture to the dry ingredients to make a soft, elastic dough. Roll out the mixture on a floured surface but not too thinly. Cut into round shapes and place on a well greased tray. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle a little extra cheese and pepper on top.
 Bake in a pre-heated oven on a high shelf at 220C/425F/Gas Mark 7 until golden brown. Serve warm with butter.
