Jamie Oliver’s Cheese Scones are soft, savoury scones made by mixing flour, butter, cheese, milk, and baking powder to create a quick dough that bakes into warm, fluffy pastries. They’re simple to prepare and full of comforting cheesy flavours.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 250g self-raising flour

  • 60g cold butter, cubed

  • 150ml milk

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 100g mature cheddar cheese, grated

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)

  • 1 egg for brushing (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set the oven to 200°C (400°F) so it’s hot enough to give the scones a good rise.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and mustard powder. Stir briefly to distribute everything evenly.

3. Rub in the Butter

Add the cold cubed butter and rub it into the flour until the texture resembles breadcrumbs.

4. Add Cheese and Milk

Stir in the grated cheddar, then slowly pour in the milk. Mix gently until a soft dough forms—avoid overworking.

5. Shape the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 2–3 cm thick round, and cut into circles or triangles.

6. Bake the Scones

Place on a baking tray, brush with egg if using, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and risen.

7. Cool and Serve

Transfer to a rack and let them cool slightly before serving warm.
