Recipe of the week: cheesy, corny sunshine scones • These scones are a delicious cheesy treat, and just the thing to make with children, says Allegra McEvedy.

Approach these scones with the lightest touch, and they’ll repay you by looking like sunshine and tasting out of this world. Serve with butter.
