I was just writing a recipe for soup and remembered that Mum used to make Cheese Sauce Scones to go with soup. I’ll call this a recipe from her old book but in actual fact it is one of those recipes that was kept in her head. I managed to write it down in my book though before I left home. So here it is.

You will need: 

Scones

2 cups Self Raising Flour

1 level teaspoon of salt

1 level tablespoon butter

Approximately 3/4 cup milk.

Topping

2 level tablespoons butter

60 g grated cheese (Tasty is best. )

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Pinch salt

Pinch cayenne pepper

Method:

Turn on the oven to 225 C.

Scones

Place the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add butter and rub into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Add milk all at once and mix into a soft dough. 

Turn onto a floured surface and roll to 2.5 cm thickness

Cut out with small cutter.

Pack well into a well greased tin. 

Topping

Melt butter in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and add all other ingredients. Mix together. Spoon over the scones. 

Bake in a hot oven 225 C for 12-15 minutes. Cheese should be brown and well melted.

Serve immediately. 

Enjoy!
