He might enjoy the Cheese scones too. I like them myself because I like the taste of the cheese mixed with the mustard. Fair bit of butter in them is the problem I guess.

3 cups sr flour
45b butter
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt

topping
90g butter
90g butter
pinch pepper
pinch salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard.

p.s. Koala... I went and found my really really old aust. women's weekly cookbook and it suggests in there that if one uses a combination of equal quantities of milk and water instead of all milk, it will produce lighter scones.
