INGREDIENTS

* 2 cups self-rising flour
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 pinch salt
* 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1 cup milk

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt. Rub in butter lightly with finger tips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in cheese and garlic. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk, reserving 1 teaspoon for a glazing the scones. Gently mix, just until combined.
3. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead briefly and lightly. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Press out dough to form a 1 inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on prepared tray and brush with reserved milk.
