-

SERVES 8-10

300g self-raising flour 15g caster sugar 25g Mull cheddar 25g mature cheddar 75ml milk 75ml natural yogurt 75g butter 9g honey

● Sift flour into a large mixing bowl then rub in the butter with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumb­s.

● Add in the yoghurt, milk, honey and sugar. Work into the flour mix until it forms into a soft dough. Mix in three quarters of the Mull and mature cheddar. Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured work surface and knead very lightly for a few minutes.

● Using a rolling pin, roll out to 4cm thickness. With either a fluted or plain cutter, cut into rounds. Top each scone with the remaining cheese.

● Place on to a lightly greased baking tray and bake at 150°C for 20 minutes (or until risen and golden brown).
