225 g (8 oz) plain flour

pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
40 g (1 oz) butter or margarine
1 onion, finely chopped
75 g (3 oz) mature Cheddar cheese, grated
scant 150 ml (1/4 pint) milk
beaten egg or milk to glaze
3 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
40 g (1 oz) butter or margarine

75 g (3 oz) mature Cheddar cheese, grated
scant 150 ml (1/4 pint) milk

method
1. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and mustard into a bowl.
2. Rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3. Stir in the onion and Cheddar, then mix in enough milk to make as soft dough.
4. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about 1 cm/sin thick. Cut out 8 rounds using a 6 cm (2 1/2 in) cutter, re-rolling the dough as necessary.
5. Place on a greased baking tray and brush with a little egg or milk. Bake in a hot oven for 12 - 15 minutes or until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
For a delicious cobbler topping for casseroles, remove the scones from the oven when they are two-thirds cooked, cool and freeze. Arrange the frozen scones on the casserole and cook for 15 - 20 minutes.
