Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC/400ºF (gas mark 6).
- Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs - this is easier to do once the butter has reached room temperature.
- Now add the cheese, the dried apricots and the spring onions to the mixture and combine well.
- Gradually, add enough milk to make the mixture bind together. Don't worry if it sticks to your hands a little at this stage - you can add a touch of flour to make it easier to handle if necessary.
- Roll the mixture out until it is about 2½ cm (1 inch) thick - you will need very little rolling to reach this thickness. Now use a cutter to cut out 6 scones, gathering the cuttings together and re-rolling as necessary.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the worktop and dip the bottom of each scone in the flour before placing them on an ungreased baking tray.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
