Ingredients
- 250g self-raising flour, plus extra to dust
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 50g cold butter, diced
- 175ml buttermilk
- 125g Stilton, cut into 1cm cubes
- 100g walnuts, roughly chopped
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/gas 7. Place the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter, then using your fingertips, rub into the flour. Stir in the buttermilk, cheese and walnuts and very lightly knead to make a soft dough.

These scones are great served with this potato and Stilton soup recipe.
