Equipment:
large baking tray and 2 x mixing bowls
Ingredients:
200g Doves Farm Organic Fine Plain Wholemeal Flour
1 tbsp Doves Farm Baking Powder
1 tsp sugar
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
50g butter
150ml milk

- Pre-heat the oven.
- Dust a large baking tray with flour.
- Measure the flour and baking powder into a bowl, stir to combine and sieve into a mixing bowl.
- Mix in the sugar, salt and pepper.
- Chop the butter into the bowl and using a fork, blend everything together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the milk then use your hands to bring together a soft mass of dough.
- Grate the cheese, set aside a tablespoon of cheese for later and knead the rest into the dough.
- Lightly dust the worktop with flour, place the dough in the middle and gently flatten, with your hands, until 3cm/1¼” thick.
- Scatter the reserved cheese on the top of the dough.
- Cut the dough into triangles and lift them onto the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes depending on the size of the triangles.
- Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool.
Made these today following the recipe. Only thing I changed was making them in a traditional round scone shape. Delighted with how they came out and will be making another batch very soon.

I tried these today. I am not an experienced baker and usually everything turns out wrong, leading to tears of frustration and wasted ingredients. These scones are so easy even I can make them! I would maybe add a little more cheese next time, just to make them totally cheesetastic. The secrets to any type of scone ( according to my friend Wendy) are don't overwork them and get them in the oven ASAP!

Delivered by Sainsbury’s as an alternative to my order. Found the recipe for Cheese Scone on the pack. One small bag makes numerous bakes. Fantastic with soup. Make to freeze. Ideal for picnics. Fantastic product.

I made these using GF Plain Flour and a little Xantham gum. I let the dough rest in the fridge for a while before very gently rolling out between cling film. I was really pleased with the result.

OMG! These have just come out of my oven....my first attempt. I used Doves wholemeal self raising and about two thirds of the milk. They are THE BEST scones I've ever made. They will not last till lunchtime...its 9.30am now!

Came out beautifully, although rather chewy in the middle.... Ate them all whilst hot, so don't know what they would be like cold. Used white doves flour, self raising, as all I could get in lock down. Made a yummy lunch. Thanks

This is a glorious recipe. Somehow adding the cheese after you've made the dough means you get a real hit of cheese. Make double as one round will didappear in no time.

Gorgeous scones! Made 13 using a 2" round cutter. I used self raising wholemeal flour as that's what I had. Only took about 12 mins to cook. They stuck to the tray so next time I would line the tray or grease it. Will be making again!!

My husband said that these were the best scones he’s eaten since having to go gluten free. He was so happy. They are delicious. I did add some mustard and found I didn’t need all the milk. Will try and amend the recipe to make fruit ones!

Just made these, absolutely delicious! I added half a teaspoon of paprika, a teaspoon of colemans mustard and replaced 50ml of milk with buttermilk as i had some to use up. I also reduced the baking powder to half a tablespoon. Grated parmesan and sprinkled that and salt on top. Thanks for the recipe!

Just made these using the doves plain white flour didn't add the sugar, used exta mature cheddar and mixed with almond milk - didnt quite need as much as 150ml - mixed it in gradually until right consistency, they look and smell divine, going to have later with red onion chutney.

Have tried these a couple of times using gf flour and results were quite good but can anyone tell me if the temperature is correct as it says 200C for both conventional and fan ovens which can't be right?

Made these using plain gluten free flour, added half a teaspoon of Colman's mustard, chucked all the cheese in and topped with finely grated parmesan. We made round ones and cooked for 16 min until golden on top. Really delicious, light and fluffy.Yum!

Excellent scones. Substitute pd plain flour with a gluten free plain flour mix and added a touch of mustard powder and cayenne pepper for that extra kick. Delicious.

These came out lovely. Not much success with scones normally, but these were a hit with the whole family.

These were great. Made them with GF plain flour and topped with crumbled feta cheese. Use all the liquid just make sure you use plenty of flour when kneading the dough comes together nicely. Try adding some chopped olives or walnuts for extra flavor.

I made these scones this morning, following the recipe to a T and they were delicious! So delicious, in fact, that I then made them all over again. Don't worry too much about the triangle shape. It all sorts itself out. I wouldn't recommend using half the liquid. They would be too dry. The spell in the fridge is important.

My first attempt at making cheese scones so I stuck religiously to the recipe. Guess what? Disaster! No ball for me to split into 8 portions, just a soggy mass. Evidently far too much milk. So had to bake for an extra 5 minutes, result not too appetising. Think I'll halve the amount of milk next time.

I baked these using the Doves Farm Gluten & Wheat Free White Flour and soya milk. They worked perfectly and are delicious.
Mrs Katie Lench

I had to adapt this receipe due to my daughters food intollerances. I changed the fine wholemeal flour for SR gluten and wheat free flour, deleted the sugar, used dairy and soya free spread instead of butter, reduced the milk to 100ml and used goats milk, and used goats cheese instead of cows. The result was outstanding, light and very cheesey. My daughter said they were delicious and they were.

Very tasty and simple to make. Made round scones by forming mixture into flattened balls instead of wedges.
