Tesco Real Food has shared a simple three-ingredient recipe for light and fluffy cheese scones that can be prepared in just 18 minutes. The recipe yields 10 scones and can be easily halved or doubled as needed.
To make the scones, mix 150g of grated cheese with self-raising flour in a large bowl, then stir in low-fat natural yoghurt until the dough comes together. Knead gently on a floured surface, roll to 2cm thickness, and cut into rounds using a 6cm cutter.
Place the scones on a lined baking tray, sprinkle with an additional 50g of grated mature Cheddar, and bake at 200°C (180°C fan) for 18 minutes until golden and springy. Serve warm, with butter or as desired.
For variations, Tesco suggests adding chopped spring onions or chives for a cheese-and-onion flavour, or a pinch of crushed chillies for a spicy kick.
