Soup and Cheese Scone on a blustery, rainy day

What happened to all the sunshine? Oh yes, it is all down south where we used to live!
At least some homemade veggie soup and this cheese scone round helps with the rainy day blues. We also got a lovely surprise gift of cheese from our neighbours, who brought it back from the Isle of Arran on the West Coast of Scotland. The Arran Blue was delicious, thank you guys.
The Veggie soup was diced carrot, celery, suede, onion & sweet potato, with a tin of tomatoes and some vegetable stock.
The Cheese scone recipe is as follows. I recommend you try it, it is perfect comfort food.
225g Self Raising Flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp baking powder
25g butter
150g grated cheddar
1 egg
milk
Oven 200*c (fan)
Add the butter to the dry ingredients and rub it in until resembles breadcrumbs. Then add 100g cheese.
Break an egg into a measuring jug and add enough milk to make up 150ml. Mix this into the dry ingredients to form a dough. Knead lightly. Place on a greased baking sheet, brush with milk and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese. Bake for 15mins. Cool a little but eat warm to eat it at it's best.
