- Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C.
- Into a large mixing bowl sift in the flour then add the butter and rub together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the salt and cheese followed slowly by the milk.
- Turn the mixture out onto a floured surface and knead into a soft dough. Lightly push down the dough to a thickness of about 2cm. Cut into squares or rounds with a scone cutter or knife and place on floured baking tray. Sprinkle a pinch or two of cheese on top of each scone.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until risen and golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm or allow to cool on a cooling rack.
