Light, flaky and savoury scones that use only three ingredients.  Not only that, but they go together in a flash!

You can put these together in about 5 minutes, pop them into the oven, bake and be enjoying them in less than half an hour.  No kidding!

All you need is self raising flour (self-rising), grated cheddar cheese and plain yogurt.  That's it!

You simply stir the cheese and the flour together with a fork, and then stir in the yogurt to make a soft dough.  Pat it out to a rectangle . . .  cut . . .  then bake.

You can easily make your own self raising flour.  Simply add 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt  for every 140g/1 cup of plain flour.  Easy peasy!

Use a nice strong cheddar for plenty of flavor.  You have the option of sprinkling more cheese  on top  prior to baking for a lovely finish.

These are wonderful served for breakfast with butter, and yes, even jam.  Cheese and jam go really well together.

I found the original recipe written on a scrap of paper.  I suspect I had copied it out from a magazine at the Dentists or Doctor once upon a time.  I adapted it to use both Metric and American measurements.  You're welcome!
