Sieve the flour and dry ingredients. Cut in the butter. Mix in enough milk so achieve a soft dough. Pat out on a floured board to about 1" thick and cut with a scone cutter. Bake at 230C. I like to scatter some flour on top before baking and they go a nice golden brown. You can also sprinkle with extra cheese.

Why are they expensive?Just standard type ingredients, not a huge amount of cheese.Plenty of recipes around you have to buy lots of stuff for, these would be standard household items I would have thought.I know cheese is getting dear but the price on special hasn't changed much, 1kg less than $10.

I think the recipe has a hang of a lot of cheese in it , which is what makes them so good of course

I doubt you can get tasty cheese for $10 a kilo on special and tasty is by far the best for cooking. You need so much less to get the same flavour. I use tasy and add some parmesan. Lots of flavour for a little cheese.

the new 'Egmont' cheese is yummy but $11 for 500gms!! just as well I'm the only one that eats it in this house...maybe the dog gets a smidgeon if I cut too much to fit on my cracker!

I just buy Edam, probably doesn't have the same strength but it's under $10 and less fat.Since I've never used tasty I don't know what I'm missing.

I made these today for a group of friends I had around.They were gone in less than 15 minutes. Yum! For extra indulgence, we had a little blue cheese spread on them instead of butter!
