What you need for a perfect cheese scone.
225g/8oz self raising flour
pinch of salt
55g/2oz butter
25g/1oz mature Cheddar, grated
150ml/5fl oz milk

How to make the perfect scone creation.

Heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7 (not sure on American Oven temps but should be the same).
Lightly grease a baking sheet (you can line a baking sheet with grease proof paper if desired) and Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter. Add in the cheese and then the milk to get a soft dough. Turn onto a floured work top and knead very lightly. Pat out or use a rolling pin but be gentle to a round 2cm/¾in thick. Use a 5cm/2in cutter (I use a glass)to stamp out rounds and place on the baking sheet. Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up (we don’t want any waste) . Brush the tops of the scones with a a small amount of milk. Bake for 12–15 minutes until risen and golden. Take out oven. Cool and enjoy ?

This is a good one too. I'm going to try it.

Cheese scones sounds really good. I changed up Joe's mum's recipe a bit. The additional ingredients to a basic recipe is up to what you have handy I guess. At least that's what I do. I used to make my own bread also. I just don't have enough people to feed now. Scones are going to be my go to now.

I don’t have enough people to feed it’s only myself. But I do it because it’s something I enjoy. Neighbours are never complaining when I take trays round of scones. Bakes tarts. Crusted rolls. Baps. Cakes etc etc. Of course I do some for myself. I just chuck them in the freezer ?

I don't have any idea what's going on here. Our conversation became you saying what I said and me saying what you said. No wonder we're nut cases.??

Yes garlic butter scones with my large stuffed cheese and mushroom shells. I guess I'll really be cooking soon. I can't wait to go shopping.

Sounds like HEAVEN ?

I cannot make anything without a very exact and specific recipe. I am a terrible cook and a competent baker. That cake looks really good.

That's the thing of it. Once you have a basic recipe you can do the extras however you want. Like if you make fudge. It's 12 oz milk with 3 cups of sugar. You can add cocoa powder. Peanut butter whatever after you get to the hardball stage. Even just do blonde and add marshino cherries and walnuts. Just keep the liquid and dry as close as you can to the original proportions. Even when I fail I've gained something. I'll know better next time .
