""We need more cheese Gromit!" Very serious cheesy scones which use way more cheese than normal for a scone mix; they will not rise quite as high as plain scones - but as you can see from the photo, they get there! Try and use a good quality mature Cheddar or any local type of strong cheese that is available. They can be made in about 20 minutes, if you have all the ingredients to hand and the oven has been pre-heated. Great for afternoon tea, picnics, buffets & packed lunches. You can also add chopped chives & herbs for a change." Ingredients 500 g plain flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 4 teaspoons cream of tartar 1/2 teaspoon English mustard powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 75 g butter 300 ml milk 200 g extra mature cheddar cheese, grated 1 egg, beaten Directions Preheat oven to 220C Mix all the dry ingredients together. Rub in the butter until it remsembles crumbs. Add 5 ounces of the grated cheese & mix well. Add the milk and mix very quickly - do not over mix. Mixture should be sticky and soft, if too dry, add more milk. Place onto a floured board a knead briefly. Roll out to about 3cms/1" thickness. Stamp 12-14 rounds out of the dough - do NOT twist the scone cutters as it stops them from rising!

I made these the other day and they were delicious.
Feijoa Buns Make scone dough, roll out - spread with peanut butter and lots of peeled thinly sliced feijoas, a few sultanas and walnuts scattered over it. Roll up, slice inch thick, sprinkle with extra sugar - cook in very hot oven like scones.

Is it the lack of acknowledgement to the originator of the actual creator/author of the recipes maybe?

When does the egg go into the cheese scones - or is it to brush on the top? Mix with the milk perhaps?

Of course, you can add cayenne pepper to these. This was the original recipe from the Wallace & Gromit site that I got a while ago and I Just copy and pasted it of one of the other threads I had posted it on earlier.

Aged gouda goes well in scones too. I'm going to work my way through these recipes over the next week or so, hopefully pickles will have let us in on the error by then otherwise I'll let you all know :)

You brush the tops with the beaten egg patsprat. The recipe was from a thread we had here ages ago that I copy and pasted here so they are all together, it was missed out then.

Gosh no, its part of the silly, childish game. Aged gouda would be lovely. just watch the oven temp on the buttermilk ones where I have a hot oven 230C/450C. obviously it should be 230C/250C

lol. no it is an error. Maybe if it is not found by the poster. it is a printer's error. AND you are right buzzy110 a little acknowledgement to the original creator, coz it's not the poster.

Yes I lurk more than I post but certainly still here. I was using subos scone recipe with the egg in it but tried yours and will stick to it now. Have just got to remember to keep buttermilk in the fridge.

Is it 2 tsp baking soda rather than baking powder in the seriously cheesy scones?
buzzy110,

Yes. It does appear that you have made it the right thing to do. What a pity you pull one person up about this constantly but fail to mention the lack of-thereof in this thread especially as you have made a crusade of getting people to acknowledge recipe sources.
I have put my bread recipe up in five threads all five have had the same trashy comments by the same two posters. I say "My recipe" now, as the texture is nowhere near the original recipe, I know, as I made the recipe I found on the net as written. We prefer a moister texture. The different textures are plain to see in the pic's.
