Rustle up a British classic in no time with this super-simple three-ingredient cheese scone recipe. These little savoury scones are perfect for a teatime treat, packing up in lunchboxes or for a picnic. There’s a handy ingredients list at the bottom of the page for everything you need.
Mix 300g self-raising flour with 150g grated mature Cheddar in a large bowl. Stir in 250g low-fat natural yogurt until it comes together.
Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently a few times until smooth. Pat into a round then roll out with a lightly floured rolling pin to a thickness of 2cm. Stamp out 10 scones using a 6cm round cutter, re-rolling the trimmings as needed. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Sprinkle the tops of the scones with another 50g grated mature Cheddar, then bake at gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C for 18 mins or until light golden and springy to the touch.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly, serve still warm as they are, or split and spread with butter or fill as you like.
Some finely chopped spring onions or chives could be stirred through the dough to make cheese-and-onion-flavoured scones or add a pinch of crushed chillies for a spicy kick.
