1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Rub the spread into the flour to form fine crumbs. Add three-quarters of the cheese and the sage and mix well. Add the milk to form a soft dough.

2 Lightly knead the dough on a well-floured surface and use a cutter to make 12 scones. Put them on a greased baking tray, spread chutney over the top of each scone and add a sprinkle of the remaining cheese.

3 Bake for 17 min or until golden.
