Equipment
  • 1 wire rack
  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 separate jug
Ingredients
  
  • 225 g self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 50 g cold butter cubed
  • 100 g mature cheddar cheese grated
  • 25 g parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 100 ml milk plus extra for glazing; you can use half and half if desired
Instructions
 
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) / Fan 200°C (392°F) / Gas 7 and lightly grease a baking tray.
    In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients by mixing the self-raising flour, baking powder, salt, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper.
    Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add them to the dry ingredients mixture.
    Using your fingertips, rub the butter in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in 2/3 of the grated cheese to the mixture, saving the remaining cheese for later.
    In a separate jug, break the egg and add enough milk to make up to 150ml.
    Mix well.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix quickly and gently to form a soft dough.
    Do not over-mix, as this may create a firm dough.
    Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the scone dough to a thickness of about 2cm.
  • Cut out scone shapes using a round cutter and place them on the prepared baking tray.
    You could also cut the dough into squares or triangles if desired.
    Glaze the tops of the scones with a little milk, and then sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top, pressing it down gently.
  • Bake the cheese scones for 10-15 minutes in the preheated oven or until golden brown and well-risen.
    Let your cheese scones cool on a wire rack before enjoying them warm or at room temperature.
    Now, you know how to make deliciously tempting Mary Berry Cheese Scones with this clear and easy-to-follow recipe.
    Enjoy your freshly baked cheese scones while they are warm, and the cheese is still melty!
