Three Ingredient Cheese Scones
What if I told you, you could make a delicious, light, flaky savoury scone using only three ingredients? Its true! You can and these lovely scones are just that!
Light, flaky and savoury scones that use only three ingredients. Not only that, but they go together in a flash!
You can put these together in about 5 minutes, pop them into the oven, bake and be enjoying them in less than half an hour. No kidding!
All you need is self raising flour (self-rising), grated cheddar cheese and plain yogurt. That's it!
You simply stir the cheese and the flour together with a fork, and then stir in the yogurt to make a soft dough. Pat it out to a rectangle . . . cut . . . then bake.
You can easily make your own self raising flour. Simply add 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt for every 140g/1 cup of plain flour. Easy peasy!
These rise really nice and tall . . . and are so flaky . . .
Use a nice strong cheddar for plenty of flavour. You have the option of sprinkling more cheese on top prior to baking for a lovely finish.
These are lovely . . . plain and on their own . . . or split and spread with butter . . .
Look at that lovely texture. Isn't it beautiful? I think they are just perfect!
These are wonderful served for breakfast with butter, and yes, even jam. Cheese and jam go really well together.
They are also pretty wonderful served with soups or salads for lunch, or stews for dinner. Lovely no matter what, and sure to always be well received!

I found the original recipe written on a scrap of paper. I suspect I had copied it out from a magazine at the Dentists or Doctor once upon a time. I adapted it to use both Metric and American measurements. You're welcome!
