Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a large baking tray inside. Sift the flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder into a bowl, then sift again to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add the butter to the bowl and combine with your fingertips to make breadcrumbs. Sprinkle 100g of the cheese into the breadcrumb mixture and rub together until evenly distributed. Try not to mix too much as the heat from your hands may start to melt the butter.
- Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in enough milk to give a fairly soft but firm dough. Do not pour in all the milk at once as you may not need it all to get the right consistency.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to approximately 2cm thick. Cut out the scones with a medium (about 8cm) cutter, then put on a sheet of baking parchment, glaze with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Slide onto the hot oven tray.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are cold before you start baking. This will help the scones rise properly and give them a light and flaky texture.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
- Don't roll the dough too thin. The scones should be about 1/2 inch thick before you cut them out.
- Bake the scones in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly.
- Don't overbake the scones. The scones are done when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
South African cheese scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect cheese scones every time. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give South African cheese scones a try.
