Think the secret is the brand of cheese used. Find Mainland Tasty is good.

savoury sconesself raising flour sugar only a little but optional grated cheese tastyor mildthen I add a pkt of maggi onion soup mix make into a dough with milk cut into shape add more grated cheese on top and bake. Note I've been leaving the cheese till about the last 10 minutes sometimes the cheese on top gets cooked too much and dry seems to work is nice and soft sooo far.

I don't have a great recipe to share as I usually use edmonds, but I suggest you don't overmix the dough, and use good tasty cheese for best flavour. And I would add ground black pepper to the dry ingredients.

And the good thing about using Tasty cheese is that you use less.

I agree that Mainland Tasty is a good brand for use in cheese scones. That's because it's saltier, so if you have a non-tasty cheese, add extra salt (so good for the arteries....)...

If I work saturday mornings I take scones in and I'm a hopeless scone maker, wish I had watched grandma she was the best! - but I can make cheese scones, always with tasty cheese and sometimes add mustard but the mixtures is wet and I just plop them on the tray. I add lots of cheese, but my work mates say they are always lovely. I cant stand buying a cheese scone and its only on the top! There is a shop close to where I work sometimes and their date scones are the best, if I buy one its breakfast/lunch they are so big.

I agree with wish I'd paid more attention!however, the golden rule is that the wetter and less fiddled with the mixture the better it is

I was a rock maker once... then used this recipe and now rocks are mounds of deliciousness...
2 cups flour 4 teaspoons of baking powder - yes this much makes them big and fluffy pinch salt. pinch cayenne pepper fried off bacon and onion 2 cups grated cheese - any cheese milk to mix
stir all together using a metal knife... no kneading just use wet hands and grab big dobs on a baking tray - I brush with milk and bake till golden....

I use a packet of parmisen cheese in the mix as well as the grated cheese makes it real cheesy. Just add to normal cheese recipes.

It doesn't get much cheesier than this thanks to another poster
Cheese Scones As with any scone, don't over mix and don't over handle if you want the lightness.
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.

These are delish and are for SERIOUS cheese lovers
"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. Try and use a good quality mature Cheddar or any 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.
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
Preheat oven to 220C
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
Rub in the butter until it remsembles crumbs.
Add 160 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!
Place close together on a greased biscuit/baking tray.
Brush the beaten egg over each scone as a glaze and sprinkle the remaining 40g of cheese over the top.
Bake in a pre-heated oven for 10-12 minutes until well risen and golden brown.
Cool slightly, then spilt them in half, butter them -- divine!

Yum, these sound great.Capers cafe, here in Palmy, make the best cheese scones around.Not sure how they do it, but its like melted cheese all through it.Mum used to make cheese puffs, and they were delicious - not sure how they differ from scones though.
