Cheddar cheese scones are very easy to make. Using self-rising flour, these scones also call for a favorite hard cheese, such as sharp cheddar. The result is a delicious wedge-shaped biscuit that compliments a grilled steak dinner served with sautéed onion and corn on the cob. This recipe for cheese mustard scones makes 8 scones.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour

- In medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.

- Mix in grated cheese. On separate occasions, I’ve used grated sharp cheddar cheese and smoked Amish cheddar cheese, each with delicious results.
- Mix in mustard powder.
- Mix in enough milk to make a thick dough.
- Pat dough into a large circle, about 1 inch thick, on greased baking sheet.
- Cut circle into 8 wedges using a knife or pizza cutter and separate the wedges so that there is about 1 inch space surrounding each wedge.
