Preheat oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 and lightly grease or line a baking tray.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl.
Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour, baking powder & salt mixture.
Stir 225g of the cheese into the flour mixture.
Gradually stir in enough yogurt (or your chosen liquid) to the dry ingredients to start forming a soft but not wet dough.Note: different flours absorb different amounts of liquid so you may not need all of the 250ml OR you may need a little extra.
Briefly and lightly knead the dough on a floured surface to bring together then roll out to approximately 2-3 cm thickness. Cut out scones, re-rolling the scraps to make more. A 6 - 7cm cutter should make 12 scones. Place the cut out scones on the greased baking tray.
Brush a little yogurt or your chosen liquid over the tops of the scones then sprinkle with the remaining 25g of grated cheese.
Place in the pre-heated oven and bake until risen and golden (13 - 18 min).
Transfer to a wire rack to cool a little.
Serve slightly warm, split and spread with butter.Tip: pulling the scone apart rather than cutting will keep the interior fluffy.
If not using straight away, cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Use within 2 days or freeze.Reheat in a microwave or low oven.
