Stir in 75g of the cheese

Step 5

Lightly beat the egg into the milk, then pour into the flour mixture

Step 6

Use a round bladed knife to bind the ingredients together then knead the mixture very lightly to give it a smooth surface (kneading it on a lightly floured surface will stop it from sticking)

Step 8

Bake the scones towards the top of the oven for 12-15 minutes until they have risen and are lightly golden in colour
