I usually put 2-3 cups of cheese. Sometimes I put the cheese in with the flour, sometimes right at the end. Depends if I forget to add it lol.

I often add the cheese (or the dried fruit) in with the liquid. When you're mixing quickly, sometimes dry flour sticks and doesn't combine fully (same when mixing muffins).
And because dried fruit sucks up liquid from your recipe, Alison Holst recommends 'plumping' fruit like sultanas in water while you're doing the first part of a recipe.

The only thing I would say with scones is to work quickly with the ingredients. Use a knife to cut in butter, milk & cheese. Have mixture moist. Do not knead to death, work quickly & lightly with mixture, better to be more damp than dry. Make sure oven is right temperature when scones go in. I also place them quite close together on the oven tray as it helps keeos the sides softer.

I discovered they're not quite idiot proof yesterday.They smelt so good, a bit of onion, bacon and cheese - however remembering the baking powder if your not using selfraising flour is a must for fluffy scones ;-) They still tasted good though with the soup.

Edmonds cookbook recipe has never failed me, even with pre-schoolers helping at Playcentre! (Mind you I dont do cheese ones.yummy sultanas or dates instead!) People often comment on how good they are.

I reckon this idiot proof scone is not a scone but more a cake. texture is all wrong for a real scone.

Pull apart Cheese and onion. Scones.
4 cups of flour, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp baking soda, 4 tsp cream of tartar,
200grams of grated cheese, 1/2 a medium onion very finely chopped, 1 egg, 100 grams of melted butter, 1 and 1/2 cups of milk, may need a little more
Sift all the dry ingredients, melt the butter, beat the egg in a measuring jug, add the melted butter, then milk to make up to 2 cups of liquid add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients , mix lightly, adding more milk so the mixture is not crumbly at all, I tip my scones straight out onto a floured baking tray. I cut them on the tray, using a wet knife I sprinkle more grated cheese over the top, bake 15-20 minutes in a 250%C oven.

Thank you for this recipe. :) - Just made 8 HUGE scones as above, only change was 2 cups of frozen chuck wagon corn (watties: onions, capsicum, carrots, corn and a few peas, instead of just the onion.) :) - seriously scummy!

Lemonade and cream scones fool proof
4cups SR Flour300 ml Cream 1 can lemonade 1 tsp salt. 1/2 cup sugar
Add cream and lemonade to dry ingredients mix quickly with knife, roll and and cut into 12 scones, bake close together at 230c for 10-12 mins can brush with milk. do a fruit version adding cup sultanas just as good

I use self raising flour instead of plain in the Edmonds recipie, add a couple of extra tsps of Baking Powder and mix in butter etc in my whizz for a sucessfull scone. A pkt of onion sup mix into cheese scones add a bit of omph and easier than chopping onions finely and no tears!
