Cheddar, Spring Onion and Smoked Paprika Scones

Cheese scones are great thrifty lunchbox filler in this house. The kids take them to school, halved with a spreading of butter and a slice of cheese. The adults take them to dunk in their soups, although I also like them with some cream cheese and slices of cucumber and cherry tomatoes.

I blitz the ingredients in a processor so the dough literally take 5 minutes to make but if you didn't have a processor just use the rubbing in method in a large bowl, adding the liquid once breadcrumbs are formed.
