Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch sweet paprika (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to a very hot temperature, 225 degrees Celsius (approximately 435 degrees Fahrenheit).
-
Mix self-raising flour, grated cheese, milk, and a pinch of salt together in a bowl until well combined. The mixture should be fairly moist and sticky.

-
Optional: Sprinkle sweet paprika on top of each scone for added flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top. For even baking, rotate the baking tray halfway through cooking.

Serve the cheese scones warm. They are best split and served with butter, if desired.
Additional Tips:
- Ensure your oven is properly preheated to achieve the best rise and texture in your scones.
- You can customize these scones by adding herbs like chives or parsley for a different flavor profile.
