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.

Shape the mixture into scones: Place rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto a greased baking tray. This recipe yields approximately 10-12 scones.
-
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.
- If you prefer a sharper cheese flavor, you can use a stronger cheese variety or increase the amount slightly.
- These scones are perfect for serving as a quick snack, with soup, or as part of a brunch spread.
