8 oz. S.R. flour
Pinch salt
2 oz. butter or margarine
3/4 cup milk
3 oz. of tasty cheese
Method: Sift flour and salt into bowl. Add 1 oz. of butter and rub in well. Make a hollow in bottom of the bowl and add the milk. Mix with a round-top knife until a soft dough is formed. Tip on to a lightly-floured board. Knead until the underside is smooth. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with plain 1&1/2" cutter. Place in a shallow round 8" sponge tin, close together. Pat over the Cheese Sauce. Place the remaining butter in a saucepan and melt. Don't brown. Add cheese and stir twice. Pour sauce on scones and spread. Cook for 15 minutes Gas oven 425°, Electric 550°.
