Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan bake) and place a baking tray inside.
Mix the milk and lemon juice, then leave to thicken.
Combine the Rustic White Bread Mix, baking powder, salt, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
Add the grated butter and mix until coated with flour.
Add the grated cheese, reserving a little for sprinkling on top, and mix as with the butter.
Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk.
Use a knife to cut the liquid into the dry ingredients, moving the bowl to mix evenly. Finish by using your hands to press the dough against the sides to combine the last of the dry ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a rectangle about 3cm thick.
Cut into 6-8 even portions, shape each portion into a round, and gently press the top down to 3cm thick.
Place on the hot tray so the scones are just touching.
Brush the tops with milk (optional) and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden.
