My Mum's Cheesey Scones
My mum makes the best scones - everyone says this. J said this. Then J had my mum's scones. He doesn't say his mum makes the best scones anymore
Ingredients
2 cups SR flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Approximately 1.5 cups of tasty cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 cup buttermilk (if unavailable, use 1/3 cup milk, 2/3 cup water and lemon juice)
Herbs as desired (thyme is my mum's pick).
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C. Prepare your normal tray.
My mum doesn't botther with all the stuff you read about - making wells, rubbing in butter, using lemonde. She combines the above ingredients until it is just together - do not play with it too much as you'll get tough scones. Don't use too much milk either - if the mixture looks like it's not coming together use more water.
Pat out to about 2cm thick and cut your scones out. Place on tray. Sprinkle with a bit more shredded cheese. Bake for approximately 10 - 15 minutes until golden brown (will depend on how big you make your scones - if you make monster scones, may take more than 15 minutes).
Eat and enjoy!!
