Cheese Scones

• 1 cup flour Unbleached
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• salt To Taste
• 4 tablespoons butter 1/2 Stick
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup grated cheese

1. Cheese Scones - Add 1 generous cup of grated cheese to the basic dough before rolling it out. Cheddar is a particularly good choice, as is parmesan. The author likes to serve them with vegetable soup.
2. Preheat oven to 450F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside. Sift together the flour, soda, cream of tartar and salt. Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut in the butter (or pulse in a food processor) until the mixture looks like coarse, grainy crumbs.
3. Pour the milk in a well in the center and mix until a soft elastic dough is formed. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface until smooth. Roll or press the dough out until it is 3/4 inch thick. (If the dough is too thin the scone won't rise properly.)
4. Cut into 2 1/2 or 3-inch rounds with a cookie cutter or a glass and bake on prepared sheet for about 10 minutes or until they rise and are golden.
