Cheese Scones

The recipe is for cheese and bacon scones
8oz SR flour
2 level TSP of baking powder
1/2 TSP of mustard powder
3oz of grated mature cheddar
2oz margarine
6 to7 tablespoons of milk
Pinch of pepper and salt
Sieve flour, baking powder, mustard, salt and pepper together, rub in margarine.
Add cheese mix well, and add milk and mix to form a dough.
Roll mixture on floured board to 1/2 inch thickness cut into rounds.
Place scones on a greased baking tray brush scone tops with milk and put some grated cheese on top of scones.
Bake for twelve to fifteen minutes at 210c.
I sometimes add chopped chives to the mix before adding milk.
If you want to try the bacon its three grilled rashers of bacon finely chopped.
These scones make nice canapés, half scones and spread with cream cheese top with smoked salmon, or cream cheese and sun dried tomatoes/ or red onion marmalade
